I started a quest to find terrific blues music and incredible musicianship when I was just a little kid. I also have a tremendous appreciation of fine musical instruments and equipment. One of my greatest joys all of my life was sharing my finds with my friends. I'm now publishing my journey. I hope that you come along!

 "The Blowin’ Smoke Rhythm and Blues Band with the Fabulous Smokettes packed the place with a crowd that was there to enjoy great music played the way it should be," writes Los Angeles Beat reviewer Ed Simon in a recent review. "Larry Knight has the kind of voice that is perfect for the blues, a little gritty but with excellent range. This is music played and sung the way it was meant to be and “Fuzzy” Knight knows how to get the best out of his musicians and singers," Simon concludes. Read the entire review here.
