Mo Betta Blues

Saturday night at Knucklehead's, a friendly biker bar. This bar was the new home of the Blues in KC. It used to be The Grand Emporium, but, that bar changed owners. I was there on their last night. I remember tearing off the concert posters of all the great (and not so great) bands that had played there over the years.

Well, the torch has been passed. Ronnie Baker Brooks, the son of Chicago Blues legend Lonnie Baker Brooks was playing there, and the bar was packed with blues lovers. Many of them, were member of the KC blues society.

From the opening notes, he rocked the house with his driving, Chicago Blues sound. Just like his dad, at one point he goes out into the crowd and to the bar, playing the guitar with a beer bottle at one point. His dad would play it with his tongue. Jr. didn't do that.
