Barry Dolins on HammondCast, Chicago Blues Festival 2007
Jon Hammond in Chicago IL interviewing Barry Dolins is Deputy Director of the Mayor’s Office of Special Events and the coordinator of the Chicago   more...Blues Festival since 1985 on HammondCast show for KYOU & KYCY Radio 1550AM (San Francisco CA) Headliners & Program for 2007 Chicago Blues Festival: Thursday 6/7 1:30 PM Aaron Moore If this pianist hadn't opted for a dependable day gig with Chicago's Bureau of Streets and San in the 50s, relegating the blues to his spare time, he might now be as revered as Otis Spann or Johnny Jones. In the decade since his retirement he's made an enthusiastic return to music, his hearty vocal style and rollicking technique -- much influenced by Roosevelt Sykes -- still intact. --BD
Henry Gray was raised in Louisiana, giving his rolling 88s a slightly different slant. When he lived here in the 50s, he recorded as a sideman with Jimmy Reed, Little Walter, Billy Boy Arnold, and Howlin' Wolf, eventually spending a dozen years in Wolf's band. He returned to Baton Rouge in 1968, but his back-alley vocals and two-fisted piano playing still blend swamp blues with driving Windy City shuffles. --BD For more info: http://www.HammondCast.com c)2007  less

Camera Documentation: JON HAMMOND Fall 1987 at Bottom Line NY Blood Drive Concert promoted by K-ROCK 92.3 HOWARD STERN, Meg Griffin annc. *This is the famous concert that led to WHO Reunion Tour after WHO's Manager BILL CURBISHLEY reported back to PETE TONWSHEND (who at that time was not on speaking terms with Entwistle) how good they sounded. Then Pete sent the famous TELEGRAM to John informing him that if he continued to perform their music with the "American Blokes" then there would never be a reunion. 2 weeks later they were in rehearsal and subsequent Who Reunion Tour. *Note: JOE BERGER introduced JOHN ENTWISTLE to Rat Race Choir (Chicago) then traveled to London with Hammond and the film from Chicago where they encouraged John to come to America to play together with the very competent original members of RRC known for their WHO covers (Also TULL & ZEP) therefore Joe Berger is directly responsible for WHO "REUNION 1987" *More Info: http://www.HammondCast.com c)2006 *As seen on Jon Hammond Show TV Show (23rd year).
