Caught up with an old friend tonight when I went to see the Joe Krown Trio at my friend's local Jazz Pub.

Three excellent New Orleans players: Joe Krown (on the Hammond B3), Russell Batiste Jr. (on Drums) and Walter 'Wolfman' Washington on guitar (Gibson ES 175).

I've known Walter for more than 30 years and caught him for a drink before the first set.

Every year when we're in NOLA for JazzFest, we spend some time w/ Walter and see him play at least three times, either with the Trio, or with his own band the Roadmasters.



Walter lives just down the block from the house we stay at and we've often had drinks at the neighborhood bar together, a few times 'til dawn. :shock:

Besides playing a terrific show tonight, Walter, age 70, is the proud Father of a one month-old beautiful baby girl, his 12th child (hence the nickname Wolfman... seriously) !!!

We decided that playing guitar (at least in Walter's case) definitely keeps you young !

cheers!
