Saturday Matinee – Papa John Creach, Buddy Guy, and Gatemouth Brown with Roy Clark

Papa John Creach (1917-1994) performed with Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller, Stuff Smith, Charlie Christian, Big Joe Turner, T-Bone Walker, Nat King Cole and Roy Milton. Later he toured with Hot Tuna and Jefferson Airplane / Jefferson Starship.

Buddy Guy always looks like he’s having fun. This concert is from 1994 [via Mme. Jujujive].

Now THIS is killer.

Have a great Labor Day Weekend, folks. Go fire up the grille and burn something tasty.

Saw Papa with Tuna about a dozen or so times. Man was cooler than anyone you ever heard of. Well played sport…

joej– Note that the Utoobage poster thought he was playing with Jefferson Airplane. =D

beth– I didn’t think of those as morning music, but you’re right. It works. Stephan Grapelli & Django Reinhardt were my faves for sunrise during my roadtrip days.
