780 Paul Butterfield Blues Band “Mystery Train” 1965

Louis Myers, blues guitarist: “this kid, this Paul Butterfield, white boy playin’ harp, he play pretty good, he play well enough to play as good as Junior, on some things, you know. But now I had been minglin’ with this kid all the time, this Paul Butterfield. I caught him when he was playin’ down in Old town. I used to go down there and sit in with him, on the guitar, but they never undertaken that I could play harmonica. Most of the majority of peoples didn’t know I played harp, you know. Till this drummer, Sam Lay, told him that I played harp too, so finally one night he told me to sit in on the harp. I guess he was huntin’ sounds, you know? Most of these cats hunt sounds” (Jim O’Neal, Amy Van Singel, The Voice of the Blues, 2013).
