See www.derekandsusan.net <br /><br />Sometimes if you close your eyes when Derek Trucks is playing you might think that you are listening to Duane Allman. The second disc on the 2010 "Crossroads" music DVD features them for quite a few tracks, along with Warren Haynes, another member of the Allmans.<br /><br />There are a number of big name performers in Australia at present (Bob Dylan, BB King etc) for the Byron Bay Blues Festival and many of them do side shows in Sydney & Melbourne.See www.bluesfest.com.au for the full lineup. <br /><br />My ears are still ringing - it was damn LOUD! I genuinely wish I'd worn some earplugs as I noticed some in the crowd did.<br /><br />Cheers JulesTarsnakes Down Underhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04859439380216890525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5057289255346579181.post-19823827799356929882011-04-23T09:39:19.162+10:002011-04-23T09:39:19.162+10:00Jules,

It makes perfect sense after listening to Tedeschi-Trucks numbers on YouTube. I'd have liked to have seen them too!Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.com
