...that preference, Hound Dog has managed to 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. But make no mistake about it, any joint with Hound Dog Taylor in it, will jump...
...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.

Bob Dylan, who plays guitar, harmonica and organ and even lends a little vocal counterpoint to (Is Anybody Going To) San Antone...
...Whiz kid guitarist David Bromberg is at Paul's Mall. If you can handle the $3 cover, and can stand hustling to buy drinks, it might just be worthwhile. I've only heard Bromberg once, on the radio, and he did a talking blues version of "Mr. Bojangles" that was fine, even if he did sound like Neil Young...
