Did a little research and found out (although I am sure that you knew)Cuby + Blizzards were a Dutch blues band.
Looks like they did mainly original material, although I noticed Elmore James' "The Sky Is Crying" and Sonny Boy Williamson II's "Help Me" among the titles.
Learned something new! How cool is that?  |
As you can see on the poster, Cuby & The Blizzards played that night (Cuby is still active) as well as did Living Blues, a band I liked better. The harmonica player of Living Blues died a couple of days ago. The poster was presented to a couple of Dutch blues fanatics (among myself) in respect to this sad event. I'm glad they did post me that poster, being especiallly FM-PG fan. That year they also played in Rotterdam. Living in Rotterdam from 1968-1970, I'm still happy to have been able to see them live. I don't have many memories, though I still remember them playing a very long song with Mick leaning over his hi-hat and keeping up a steady rhythm. By now I know that must have been the Green Manalishi, a song I didn't know of at that time. Sorry it's not on tape although I do have many other recordings of Manalishi live.
