No blues performer learns his trade in a vacuum.  I was lucky to have two remarkable teachers:  Sterling Magee (Mr. Satan), the Mississippi-born guitarist/vocalist/one-man-band with whom I worked the streets of Harlem and, later, the international club-and-festival scene; and Nat Riddles, a native New Yorker, who taught me what he knew about blues harmonica and, as a virtuoso street performer in the summer of 1985, helped model that craft for me in a way that helped prepare me for Sterling and his Harlem gig the following year.

Here are some family photos.  Enjoy them.  Use them.
