This is a "stealth" recording made in festival conditions.

For those of you not familiar with Bobby "Blue" Bland, he's an old-timer who's been performing since the early '50s. In his day, Bobby was a crooner of the highest order. If you download this show, be prepared for some jazzy-type kick-back blues . . . and listen up for Bobby's "snrowling." I call it a "snrowl," because I can't figure out if it's a growl or a snort. I'll let you decide.

As always, help with the setlist would be most appreciated.
