TAIL DRAGGER,  James Yancey Jones, dies Sept 4th 2023.  So many Loved Tail Dragger.  This was his last blues festival performance.  ( The Delmark street party was his last performance.)  This show was the last time he and Bob Corritore played together.  I always wished we could have Tail Dragger play every show. Here is a clip from his performance:  https://youtu.be/x1OY0Yqr6FI?feature=shared

Billy Branch & Bob Corritore had a harp blowout, battle of legendary harp players.  Billy called Bob up to join him on "Help Me" by Junior Wells.  This could be the first time they battled it out.
