Give me a tambourine and a drum stick, and I'll give you a whole new kinda music

The most famous person you never heard of is Don Nix, the unassuming person standing in the back with a tambourine and a drum stick. Look him up on Allmusic or Wikipedia and see how much of an influence he had on the music you listened to during your miss spent youth of the early 1970's. . .



here he is on his song Amos Burke for his mentor bluesman Furry Lewis ...


and here with Leon doing an old Jimmy Reed tune . . .


he also produced this little ditty for an old friend...


May just do a show on Don Nix real soon...
