With Todd Glass on drums, Alex Lyon on bass, Chris Codish on keys, and Greg Nagy on backing vocals, this is a solid opener. Rock n Roller, Feel Like A Hundred , features a driving guitar lead with vocals by Nicky and super piano work by Andy Szymanski on piano.

I started a quest to find terrific blues music and incredible musicianship when I was just a little kid. I also have a tremendous appreciation of fine musical instruments and equipment. One of my greatest joys all of my life was sharing my finds with my friends. I'm now publishing my journey. I hope that you come along!

Mean Blues - Floyd Lee

-

Ted Williams a.k.a. Floyd Lee was born 1933 in Mississippi. Captivated by the sound and feel of the genre, he started to play blues as a teenager and wandered the U.S. playing music.

In 1972 He moved to Harlem New York and fell in love with musical culture of the city. Ted was one of the first musicians to start the ART FOR TRANSIT, now called MUSIC UNDER NEW YORK. Since then, he has been playing blues at subway stations, including Times Square and Grand Central Station as an official musician of MTA's Music Under New York. He has been playing in the subway for almost 20 years. He also plays at clubs, street fairs, and teaches children at schools in Harlem. He once played for an inauguration of the mayor of New York City. Ted is a cousin of John Lee Hooker, and loves Japan.

Ted's music has taken him all over the world. He has played in several countries including Japan, Russia, and most recently North Korea. In September 2002, Ted and fellow band mate Clara E. were the first to represent New York City at Moscow's first blues festival.
