What's New, Pussycat?

Somewhere Raymond Chandler is smiling....legendary blues musician, 'Deaf' Willie is coming from Detroit to play in Cotati this Friday. Deaf Willy is the love child of a Chandler novel and a lonely saxophone. Only with more whiskey. Funny whiskey. Well, not funny whiskey, Johnny Carson whiskey.

I first heard Deaf Willy 23 years ago. We have been friends ever since. I love Deaf Willy, but am willing to risk our frindship and reveal a secret. Shh. Don't tell. Quiet. {{Whispers}} Deaf Willy is not deaf. He is dyslexic and that's why he has to 'sign' the blues. Has to.

More later....including the story of the Tom Jones-Deaf Willy secret tapes.
