Nice to see. Had a time getting "Living On The River" on my iPod but with a little help from my niece with a Mac I'm now back in business with my favorite street duo!

saw them at the junk yard in orlando (casselberry) in '94. great musicians and good people. we hung out and talked for about an hour, helped load up their minimal amount of gear into a hatchback, and sent them on their way. Got a pack of kool's out of it, never liked menthol but it was a kick.

Satan meet Adam, Adam Mr. Satan Now i realize why Satan gave the apple to Eve. He really needed Adam. There's proof in the music...It's soooooooooo bad in a good way.

This is the first of your performances I've seen w/Mr. Satan and damn is he amazing. His guitar playing is out there.. in a really sweet way.

[Harpmaster9000]

[goldbugggg]

There really is something incredibly special about that man.

[shrimpdaddy]

I have to come to harlem and meet satan man! You guys are great! it's all feel man! you listen to each other and go! Thats pure and real man!

[KudzuRunner]

He no longer lives in Harlem. He lives at the Boca Ciega facility in Gulfport, FL, in greater St. Petersburg. If you call ahead, I'm sure he'd be happy to have you stop by. If you blow harp, bring a harp.

Wow! You guys sound fantastic. I'm so glad I stumbled upon you in most recent DIYs. I really like the first song "Sunshine In The Shade", puts me a a grand mood. Thanks for sharing! ~Mary

[ilovecereal371]

I'm really digging this. I hope one weekend you and Mr. Satan might come down nearby to the western part of NC and play a gig. I'd certainly come to see it.

Proof, White folks can have and play the blues. I know this true cuz im white and my whole life has been the blues from my head to my shoes. and i wouldnt trade none of my blues for the rain to wash em away and trade it in for a sunnier day. happy, sad, depressed, or glad. im still alive...

@slayer8570

You know that white folks can play the blues because you're white, and you're life has been the blues? ... Dude! Stevie Ray Vaughan is a way easier example :)

[airmojo]

Adam, that was great! I see what you mean about moving with the music... all that running and harp playing sure TONE's you up!

[ZackPomerleau]

AMAZING! BLUES FOREVER!

[nighttrainjames]

MAD JAM in E! The ebb and flow of the harmonica was inspirational and educational. You are SO LUCKY to have satan. In my shithole of a burgh everybody insists the blues is dead and the harmonica belongs on hee-haw:( You have re-ignited my love of the instrument and put me on new, greater paths, thank you;)

[KudzuRunner]

Thanks, Jim. The feeling is mutual. I've checked out your videos; you're doing something useful yourself--keeping that anarchic spirit alive. If the harp isn't about that at least some of the time, what the hell is it about?

[nighttrainjames]

I need an amp. I have a Gretsch Country Gentleman from the 50s, but am very disappointed with the sound. If you were given your choice of ONE AMP for a medium venue,...what would you buy?

[airmojo]

Jim, if the town folk are still watching Hee-Haw, that tells you something! Even Charlie McCoy can play the blues (and then some!). But it does take dedicated people to keep the blues alive... Check out Joe Filisko, a true living ambassador for blues harmonica.
