Adam's Blues Course…
Adam Gussow, half of the duo "Satan and Adam" and author of "Mister Satan's
Apprentice: A Blues Memoir", is teaching a blues course in New York
If you're a New York-area blues music fan looking to broaden your horizons, you
may be interested in a course I'm teaching at the New School (66 W. 12th St.,
NYC) this fall, beginning September 27th. (Some of you know me as the
harmonica-playing half of the blues duo "Satan and Adam" and the
author of MISTER SATAN'S APPRENTICE: A BLUES MEMOIR.) The course description
reads as follows:
Juke-Joint Witness: The Blues Tradition in American Literature (course # 0699)
Expatriate Kiwi Bluesman, Mike Brosnan, Is Back Touring In Europe In 1998. He Sent His First
Letter Home To The Bluesletter, Printed In The Oct/Nov 1998 Issue.
Highlights:
Meeting up with former Warratah, Wayne Mason - touring with Austria's
"Bluespumpm" - playing in Heidenreichstein at a major biker
festival…
Its real nice to be back writing a regular article for the NZBS's Bluesletter.
My spare time at the end of last year just seemed to vanish leaving no time at

ordered now, so, here goes
Denny Freeman Talks To The Bluesletter
Tone Sommer, the Bluesletter's Texas correspondent, filed this interview with Denny Freeman in the June/July 1998 issue.
TONE is the guitar player with the Robert Ealey band in Fort Worth.
This months feature is about another great Austin guitarist, Denny Freeman. He was in the
Antones house band for over 17 years and came up with Jimmie Vaughan &
Stevie Ray as well as Doyle Bramhall. Freeman is credited along with them as
being a pioneer of the authentic Austin blues sound we have come to know today.
He just released his third album titled, "A Tone For My Sins" on
Dallas Blues Society Records. This is Denny's first solo record in over ten
years. Its a great album of all instrumental guitar tunes. Previous CD's
include "Blues Cruise" and "Out Of The Blue" on Amazing
Records. Do yourself a favour and pick up his latest, "A Tone For My
Sins". Great stuff!
