Hiya,

One of the highlights of the tour was playing Danny Cox’ yard party – Coxstock. The time spent playing and hanging out was wonderful. Setting up in the blazing sun, firing up and playing some of our stuff and then being the house band to some of Kansas City’s finest was terrific. The warm welcome we received, the hospitality, the conversations with Mr Millage Gilbert, Mr KC Kelsey, Mr Ron Teamer, Mr DC Bellamy, Mr Dawayne Gilly and of course Mr Danny Cox are memories I’ll carry with me.

I was on and off stage as Mr Wizard, Double Bill and TWanders formed the backbone of the house band which meant that I had much time to take some photos. Here’s a few. You’ll note that there may be several of the same subject – it’s because the variations in movement show a moment in time that were worth capturing.

Here we go ...

The arrival - okay so you may have figured it that I might not have taken this photo. You might be correct. Thankyou MJEB - proof that I was actually present! That's Danny welcoming us. He's a gentleman ... but don't tell!

This is Millage Gilbert. In amongst his career he can include that he used to play with Elmore James. If you've watched MJEB's footage you'll have heard what a touch he has. He's got a commanding presence on stage as well.

Here's a few more of Millage.

MJEB joined the Theo, Bill and Mr Wizard in backing Millage for a couple of tunes.

Now this is Mr Ron Teamer - he's got his own flavour and gets his boogie on!

Now this is Mr KC Kelsey - the guitar storm that came from his hands was simply scary!

It was a hell of an afternoon - one to remember.

Cheers,

Rosie
