...construct a respectable following, in Chicago, as well as on this coast, and is one of the more frequently mentioned "bluesmen's bluesman." He plays a $29.95 El Cheapo Sears Electric Guitar, and runs a band with no bassist, just a second guitarist, who may be Hound Dog's cousin or brother-in-law, and a drummer.

The "parade of stars" consists of Don Pepe's nephew, cousin, stepdaughter and daughter. What follows is a show biz nightmare of ineptitude - jugglers who drop their props, dancers who bump into each other and acrobats who cannot hold each other up. The decrepit old black blues singer and guitarist faces the back of the stage, thumps his foot, forgets all his music and caroms into the pit. Perhaps...
