Friday Evening: Papa George
“There’s one! That’s what I say to myself when I meet a musician – anywhere – any age – who is a powerful Deep Blues player. It happened again tonight – Papa George was playing solo and is a spectacular blues artist. He’s got power and nuance, he’s a master entertainer and pure player. I’ve become a big fan of his music.”
Bob Margolin, February 2010
