JJ Cale...RIP

[Tom Dunlap]

Another gone...

I had the good fortune of seeing him at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis years ago. THE best stage to see ANYONE at the time.

His versions of the songs that others made popular sure ring true!

Thanks for the songs, John!

I never got to see him live, but have all his albums, I like the short and sweet folky bluesy songs best - there is something very cool about his sound, can't describe it in words but it's there.....

playing After Midnight with Eric Clapton making a guest appearance,

Cheers JJ and thanks for the music, hopefully get to play some guitar with you in the next life

Bummer.

That was cool. Rarely if ever have I seen a Clapton video where he takes a back seat. I must have been born a generation too late. That's my kinda stuff. Wish I had seen JJ.

RIP
