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!

featuring the dual guitar attack of the "Six-String Siren"
Diana Rein and Kenny "Big Daddy" Williams. They'll perform
Saturday at Woodystock.
About Some of the
Performers at Woodystock Rock/Blues Festival
*All the way from Ventura come Crooked Eye Tommy,
fronted by brothers/guitarists, Tommy and Paddy Marsh. The band -
who headline Saturday at Woodystock - is up for Best Blues Band and Album
of the Year at the 2016 Ventura Music Awards.
*Hailing from Hesperia, The Lillies' sound
is in the spectrum that lies between the raw/avant-garde tumble of
sixtie's indie greats The Velvet Underground and modern-day rock greats,
U2. Yet, the quartet are also heavily rooted in the Blues.
*Returning to Woodystock this year is the 'Reverend' Smack Jonez.
The singer-songwriter, New York-born and raised in Gavelston, Texas, was
"sent here on a mission from God to bring you the love thru song and
sound so that you, too can get down." Watch Jonez electrify the
Woodystock crowd with his energetic blend of blues, funk, rock and soul.
*One of the more eclectic bands to grace the
Woodystock stage is Electric Parlor. The
L.A.-based quartet takes pride in creating music that has an honest, raw,
and live feel to it, relatable to music fans all over the world.
They are inspired by the past, and the lessons they have learned from
years of listening to the forefathers of Rock 'n' Roll.
The tasty Down-Home Blues of guitarist Victor Crain
graces the stage of Woodystock again this year.
*The guitar playing style of well-known High
Desert-ite Victor Crain was
once favorably compared to the great Jimi Hendrix. Crain, who resides in
Llano, returns to Woodystock again this year to play some tasty Down-Home
Blues.

"Diana Rein and the Papermoon Gypsys brought a
rollicking show to the Blue Beet. Diana's bluesy voice and Kenny 'Big
Daddy' Williams' blistering lead guitar on their version of Jimi Hendrix'
classic "Stone Free" showed why they're one of the
hottest new groups on the scene today. Rein's guitar propels the music
with a rocking sound, the interplay of her guitar carrying both rhythm
and some excellent solo work. All told, Diana Rein and the Papermoon
Gypsys provide a hard driving blues sound that's hard to
beat"
- Ed Simon, LOS ANGELES BEAT
The new group is co-led by
vocalists-guitarists, Diana Rein and Kenny "Big Daddy"
Williams, along with Joe Dolci on bass and Rich Smith on
drums. Rein, also known as the "Six-String Siren," has just
released a new album, Long Road (Rude Mood Records). "Rein
proves herself multi-talented by not only writing, recording, and
producing Long Road, she also sings and plays lead, bass, and
rhythm guitars, " writes National Blues Review.
On Long Road, Rein - a big Stevie Ray Vaughan fan who moved
to Southern California from a hotbed of the Blues, Chicago - displays a
sharp tongue, driving blues-based guitar, and melodic solos. Conversely,
Williams is a longtime SoCal musician who, in addition to Papermoon Gypsys,
also fronts OC-based blues-rock trio, Bluespower. "Big Daddy,"
as Williams is commonly called, is also co-owner of Kenny's Music in Dana
Point in addition to the Host of the weekly "Laguna Blues"
radio show every Friday night on KX93.5 FM. "Big Daddy is one of
those guitarists whose showmanship comes naturally," writes Ed Simon
of the Los Angeles Beat.

I just received the newest self titled release from the Papermoon Gypsys and it's versatile and interesting. Opening with instrumental, When I Look Into Your Eyes, PG, led by Big Daddy Williams carves a gentle anthem with a guitar filled melody. William's style, a blend of melodic and shredding, proves a cool opener backed by Rich Smith on drums and Ron Moreno on bass. Love Medication has an easy funky beat with a jagged rhythm augmented by Smith, Albert Margolis on keys and lead vocals by Lexi G add a cool additional dimension. It's Complicated has an easy jazz pop (Steely Dan) feel with a low key loping guitar solo and lead vocals by Lexi. Cool track. She's Tough is right out of Elmore James' music stream. Williams is tight on the slide with a boogie groove. Nice! Little Town has a Latin blend overriding a rocker with vocals by Lexi and Spanish guitar riffs from Williams. Halls of Chandrian has a euro feel with low grinding distortion and eastern flavored melody. Lexi's vocals are bright and cultured and Williams sprinkles hints of sitar like sounds throughout. A forward rock guitar solo slices through the mix and a cool bass riff from Moreno hits hard. Down In Paradise has a New Orleans funk feel with Williams back on lead vocal. The "falling down the stairs" drums style on this track is really cool. Darrell Mansfield adds some real nice harp work on the track as well. Possibly my favorite track on the release, blues track, Have You Ever Had A Reason, has that Freddie King style as used by so many like Clapton et al. Lexi does a real nice job on vocals and Williams does his best guitar work on the release. Albert Margolis also lays down some really nice piano work rounding out the track nicely. Tex Mex styling and prominent vocals by Lexi on Arthur Alexanders, You Better Move On, makes this the natural radio favorite. Authentic sounding acoustic guitar work from Williams and subtle accordion gives it a warm feeling. Wrapping the release is Max Bennetti's Lonely Nights, a smooth jazz guitar instrumental warmed by the organ work of Rob Whitlock. Williams shows his stylistic flexibilities as he moves through guitar transitions throughout the track.
Very nice!
