Happy birthday to Carey Bell! There aren't too many harmonica players who can do what he did flawlessly (NOT effortlessly! You can hear the payoff for hours of practice in his and the band's playing). #BluesSky

James McMurtry’s encore 11/13/25

For the sons of the second sons
Products of genocide
Polishin' up their guns
Righteous and justified
Sons of the peasantry
Thinkin' they're finally free
Sons of the faithful serfs
Salt of the blessed Earth
In search of a mastеr
