What becomes a legend most?

In at least one case that we know, it’s a long white beard, cool hat and groovy glasses.

Is Slim Richey really a legend?  Hard to say. But ask anyone who’s heard him play — in particular ask any guitarist — and you’ll hear the same response. “Oh, yeah.  Slim’s awesome.”

(He prefers to be termed “dangerous.”  Once you hear him, you’ll know why.)

We get to see him most often as the band leader of The Jitterbug Vipers, the band to beat at our Sunday Swing shows.

But on Bluesday Tuesday, Aug 25, Slim will be our Special Guest, playing duets and swapping stories with Jimi Lee along with uber bassist Mark Epstein.   It’s kind of like hanging out with Slim and Jimi in your living room.  Except there’s someone who brings you food and drinks.
