Or, more appropriately, why no James Hunter (Howlin’ Wilf that was) in the booklet. I know you have a broad period to cover (although the early stuff is a no no for me) but if you want more converts to the genre, then surely you have to major on artists who are still cutting it today. Got to be worth a one pager in any ‘primer’ on R&B. He’s a great live draw as well!!
Genuine question – how do you know Hunter is not in the booklet? Have you got one already? If so, hats off to you, you’re a better man than me gunga etc. etc.🥇 And I’m on a freebie👍
Well Doug…
Don’t know about Howlin’ Wilf but I can assure you that the words ‘James’ and ‘Hunter’ appear sequentially in the booklet on at least two separate occasions – both in the more personal sections of the Primer :-). Seriously, a fine artist but, rather like Southside Johnny, didn’t quite make the cut for the artist top fifty.
And Gil, watch your post. But don’t get too excited, no mugging of your post office delivery operative!
Hi all
Long time no see (hear) so thought I would just drop by for a catch up. Oh, and a belated thank you for the freebie booklet — very good overall although I did pick up a couple of minor errors/typos. 😀
I hope you got some personal satisfaction out of its publication and maybe even engendered a few new converts along the way….
Cheers
Gil
Hi Gil
Hope you’re keeping well, good to hear from you. Incidentally, if I’d replied straight away, I’d be telling you that I was close to packing the site in completely. Won’t bore you with the details but basically a PHP mare. Not resolved fully, but at least workable. Won’t take much more though, tbh!!
