This performance is from the deLay Band's 1996 performance at Portland's Safeway Waterfront Blues Festival. This song epitomizes how this innovative band stretched the "blues band" envelope--and had a lot of fun doing it! Produced by Kathy Rankin through the facilities of Multnomah Community TV. Kudos to Kathy for documenting so many great Waterfront Blues Festival moments!
I just listened again. In the middle of the harp solo, tears started running down my face. I miss him so much, and only met him three times. Long Beach Thanksgiving show, San Juan Capistrano opened for Charlie Musselwhite, and the SPAH convention where I iffered to be his wingman and got to hang with him for a couple of days. Lots of Paul on You tube.

Echo sjziro comment exactly. Looked for some Paul on here before and surprised to find little. Hope you've opened door to more. Man what a player. Followed the boys for decades.
