I roamed into a Lombard Street party in San Francisco forty years ago and began slapping my knees to the blues of Taj Mahal. During a pause, he walked into the kitchen to retrieve two tablespoons and showed me how to use ’em. A wonderful evening.
Taj Mahal, a two-time Grammy winner, will soon be inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame.
“The blues is played everywhere. There’s no place I’ve been where they don’t have blues or aren’t interested in blues.”
