Paul Oscher plays songs from Little Walter at Bumbershoot 2009

Here is Paul Oscher, remenicing about Little Walter and play a few of his songs at Bumbershoot 2009. He first came to attention as Muddy Waters harmonica player from 1967-1972. He is now touring as a solo artist or in a trio setting. This video captures the first two songs of his "Alone with the Blues" solo show at Bumbershoot 2009 in Seattle. This was a fantastic show to see. I sat in the front row. A great opportunity for a long time Blues fan. I hadn't heard of Paul before Bumbershoot. To me, seeing great artists that you never heard of before at some of the smaller stages is what makes a festival like Bumbershoot so great.
