(wait a minute.... >>I *still* haven't heard another black man play fiddle blues like >>GMB; I'm guessing they're out there somewhere, I just haven't >heard them) Papa John Creech. Of course he played for a while with all the dopers out in Californicate, The Jefferson Airplane to be exact, but if you ever had the opportunity to catch him without all them long-hairs, he played blues, funk, and jazz. Then there's also Vassar Clements. He might not be black on the outside, but with all the blues and soul in his playing, Vassar must be black on the inside. I love dat sumbitch.
