I wish I had seen Snooks Eaglin - I did try to see him over 20 years ago at the Dew Drop Inn way out on La Salle (I was the only "honky" in there but they all realised I was there for the music). Snooks didn't show that night - the house band was great and apologised for Snooks non-appearnce - said he was "caught in a bottle-neck - again".
What was Snooks like? I know his music but what was he like live?
And Eugene Chadboure... he is really far-out - he is so far out he is in space.
I've not seen him either. What was he like on a show - did he have his electric "rake" with him?
Tell us more. This is very interesting.
