Now this is what I call a real blues band! I never got to hang out with Little Walter, or Muddy, or Rice Miller, or Jimmy Reed but, I hung out with Sam many times. I've been on the bandstand with him too.. and learned some serious lessons from him. I sat and watched him, countless times, on the bandstand.. and I used to think how lucky we all were in Dallas to have him there and that, one day, it would be gone. Yup, he was a PROFESSOR and one who is, sorely, missed. God bless you Sammy Myers!
the oyster house, shereveport, la, circla 1985, occupency 10, cold beer oysters on the halfshell with Sam, Anson, etc. time of my life. See you in heaven!
I was sitting at a table with Sam at a Blues club in Dallas between sets years ago when out came the silver cigarette case. I pulled out my Zippo and offered him a light where upon he said got my own Bro, then proceeded to light mine! R.I.P.
I remember chatting with Sam in '88. He told me about his days playing drums with Elmore James. I loved to watch these guys in Helena, Arkansas, sitting up on the levee under the stars during the King Biscuit Festival.
A great band... was lucky enough to see 'em many times while Sam was still here.
Try to find a vid that has Sam pulling his silver cigarette case out of his coat pocket and lighting up while Anson takes a solo... LOL... I miss that.
For those who don't know... Mike Judge played bass in this band many moons ago. So if Anson looks a little like Beavis, there's a reason for it. Heh heh.
i saw Sam a number of times in louisville, ky about 20 yrs ago. i met him one time after a show. he was pretty intimidating with his size and height. i asked him where they were playing next and he grumbled, "we play all over, son!"

I've been trying to find a copy of this video for purchase on the web. Do you know where I can buy a copy?
It's supposed to have Little Charlie on it as well - but I'm more interested in Anson.
