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!

Curly Joe Harper Blues

Curly Joe Harper was a harmonica player and singer in the mid-Missouri blues community. Those who knew him say they will never forget the way he played his music. He was born July 25, 1949, in New Mexico and spent his life working as a musician in the Columbia area, often with the Curly Joe Harper Blues Band. Mr. Harper was a staple member of both the blues and music community in Columbia, Missouri. Both his personality and his musical talent will be missed.

Don't Come Back - Buddy Stewart

I believe this to be the incorrect bio for the singer on this track. If someone can help me out...please do! Buddy Stewart (nĂ© Albert James Byrne, Jr; 1922 in Derry, New Hampshire — 1 February 1950 Deming, New Mexico) was an American jazz singer. Stewart's parents were dancers, so he entered at the age of eight years in vaudeville and sang in a number of groups, including one as a duet with his future wife Martha Wayne. As a member of The Snowflakes, he joined vocal groups in the 1940s that sang with the orchestras of Glenn Miller and Claude Thornhill. After serving in the U.S. Army (from March 1942 to 1944) he sang with the Dave Lambert and Gene Krupa Orchestra on What's This, the first vocal recording in the bop style. In the following years, he worked with Lambert, recording for a small label Sittin 'In With, arranged by Gerry Mulligan. In 1947 he sang a recording with the Charlie Ventura Orchestra — Synthesis and East of Suez, Savoy Records. Beginning January 1948, he appeared under his own name, and as co-leader with Kai Winding — and 1949 with Charlie Barnet's bebop orchestra. In 1948, he recorded as a band leader. Stewart and Lambert recorded with Blossom Dearie, a third voice and two horns, Bennie Green and Allen Eager added. In February 1949, they were together with Charlie Parker's quintet on the air. Stewart was killed in 1950 in an automobile accident when he went to visit his wife and their child in New Mexico. After Stewart's death, when his wife was standing there penniless, friends organized a benefit concert on March 24 at the Birdland Jazz Club in New York City. The concert included Ella Fitzgerald, Charlie Ventura, Stan Getz, Tony Scott, Al Cohn, Lester Young, Lennie Tristano, Harry Belafonte, JJ Johnson, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Oscar Pettiford.
