A guest 100% for John Lee Hooker at Telluride Jazz Festival 1978 路 Thu, 24 Aug 1978
Show was awesome. Had backstage pass and was sitting backstage on a folding chair when an "older" Brother wearing a white suit and white Panama Hat walked up , sat down right next to me , pulled a pint of Canadian Club out of his inside coat pocket , took a drink and handed me the bottle. As I was taking a drink , he said " MY NAME IS JOHN LEE HOOKER , and I don't give a damn. Handing back the pint , I commented , " Mr. HOOKER , I now have something to tell my grandchildren!"馃挐 鉁岎煆紐 Dan McNabb Hendersonville North Carolina
