What do you live in a cave? Buddy Guy has toured with Eric Clapton, Rod Stewart, released a ton of records, and Clapton has said for decades now that Buddy Guy is Clapton's favorite and the Best guitar player living, and Buddy Guy was just inducted in the USA Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in March.

He also was in the supergroup The Arc Angels which just reunited and he's put out a ton of records solo and with the Arc Angels.

Sorry, I have not heard of these ppl in the entertainment world news. Im afraid I only know Famous ppl.
Me neither, but I guess that's because I'm not really into traditional blues despite their influence into popular rock n' roll.
Cool interviews though, congratulations!
Btw, How old are you Arlene? and how long have you been into music journalism?
Jeff Healey was that Blind Guitarist.. I remember him.. Can't recall what movie he was in.. my mind keeps saying Howard The Duck.. but that can't be right..
Great interviews by the way

Yep, "Roadhouse" with Patrick Swayze who played a bouncer in a bar/nightclub where everyone literally killed each other.
Jeff Healey played Swayze's friend and Healey and his band had to sit in and behind, get this, a chain link fenced cell in the club because of all the bar fights and flying glass. The movie is pure cheesy...but fun.
Healey crossed over with several BIG top 40 hits in the USA, "Angel Eyes" and "Confidence Man". I saw him OPEN for The Allman Brothers Band in 1992.
He played..yes..BLIND..with the guitar on his lap, then stood up and played with his hands like a claw for his technique. Nice guy.

Since you like Dark Horse Graphic Novels' new film "Sin City"...I interviewed Dark Horse writer/author/illustrator/screenwriter James O'Barr who wrote "The Crow" (produced as the late actor Brandon Lee's last film, and several sequal films, & a TV series.
I used to act out scenes from that as a child... :|
Did you pretend to be Patrick Swayze and kick martial arts ass, or were you the evil town boss played by Ben Gazara, or were you Swayze's cool blind guitarist friend played by Jeff Healey?

I have interviewed some FAMOUS people who are too big for the publications to post online....
Gregg Allman!, My hero!
The Kinks' Dave Davies who is so kind and sweet and has a wonderful sense of humor and he sang stage musical showtunes to me!!!!!,
Bo Diddley, go Bo Diddley go!!!
Charlie Sexton of The Arc Angels who has played with Bowie, Dylan, and SRV,
Jorma Kaukonen of The Jefferson Airplane/Hot Tuna, who is also a very nice man, very talented.
I've actually been in a couple of Country Western Bars that had that fence up.. and MAN it was Rowdy.. Come to think of it I was at a heavy metal bar with the same idea.. except instead of a fence they had a screen.. it was neat..
And Yeah it was Roadhouse.. thanks.. its been a while.. I always had respect for Jeff.. he never let his blindness hold him back..
I've met a few famous people.. chatted with a couple.. B.B. King was a REAL nice guy.. we talked for almost an hour.. then he had to go..
"Swayze and kick martial arts ass, or were you the evil town boss played by Ben Gazara, or were you Swayze's cool blind guitarist friend played by Jeff Healey?"
Swayze... And when I could get ahold of my dad's guitar without him knowing, Jeff Healey. That's all poor kids HAVE to do! LOL!
