BB sure knows how to make Lucille talk. Good one. Taj is okay too.

Thanks, Zeke!
Taj Mahal was a fixture on the blues club scene in New England in the ‘70s. My favorite little biker bar, in Milford, NH , the Redeye Tavern, had an open mike and stage for whoever felt like performing. There was a guy doing some blues standards, when this character walked in and asked if he could play with him. This stranger stole the show with some awesome blues stuff…and then he broke into “Ain’t Nobody’s Business”... and somebody in the audience stood up and screamed “You’re Taj Mahal!!” and sure enough it was! He played a few more numbers, got lots of draft beers served to him from fans, and then left with his friends. Wow what a freaky time that was! Years later, I worked with a woman who was a classmate of his at UMass- Amherst in the late 60’s. She said everyone knew he was gonna be a star someday.

Thats cool poopie. I’ve gotten to see him live a coupla times, but nothing near as intimate as what you described.
