Here’s me hangin’ with one of my fave all-time bluesmen, Mr. Buddy Guy.
It was backstage at the Commodore Ballroom, one of the top concert venues in Vancouver. I remember this meeting well, because the former proprietor of the Commodore, local legend Drew Burns, also showed up to say hi to Buddy.
You might have noticed that I dressed to impress, wearing my Chicago Blackhawks jacket in deference to Buddy’s sweet home, and my Stevie Ray t-shirt, ’cause Buddy loved him too.
I’ve been lucky enough to have interviewed the man five times so far. He’s simply one of the best, and a real nice fella too.
