Hosted by old friends of the San Antonio Blues Society, Charlie and the Cool Cats, the guys tore it up nicely on a hot summer day. Since the gig was on a Sunday afternoon, the house was overflowing with blues fans and musicians. I had a hard time trying to keep up with giving everyone a turn on stage. Present that day was Henry Perez and the Rhythm Kings , Bluesland , the Sonny Boy Lee Blues Band , Jim and Neesie Beal of Ear Food , and many other artists. Havoc was already the order of the day when Ronnie Narmour of the Laboratory Brewing Company comes strollin' in with Louisiana legend, Lazy Lester, by his side.
Chaos times ten.
Everyone wanted to play for and with Lester, and I think everyone did. As he was watching our local folks in action, I asked Lester's opinion of what he was witnessing. Well, I couldn't argue with that. Shortly, Lazy Lester got up and showed his stuff and put on one hell of a show. Known for his work with Slim Harpo, Lester also has his own fine material.
