So sjpdg, let's just keep our fingers crossed the MFBB will make it to the west coast this year! Hopefully some of the shows are solo, and not always opening for ZZ.
I hope they're at least
thinking about a new MFBB album, too. I haven't heard what Mick is doing since the Grammies, but I think Rick has been working with wine importer /blues singer Kermit Lynch on a new CD, following up on his "Man's Temptation" from last year (which also featured Rick).
