Since I'm the only one here with the name of a blues song under their user name, here's the song:

YouTube - ? John Lee Hooker - Blues Brothers - Boom Boom Boom

Just a great song...Music doesn't get better than this:

This is probably my favorite "all star jam". It's a tribute to SRV and has been on PBS a few times.

IMO, Buddy Guy steals the show and blows Clapton off the stage...Other band members:
Jimmie Vaugh (Stevie's bro), Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Cray, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Dr. John, Art Neville Stevie Ray Vaughn Tribute Live Tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughn

Or not... I don't suppose anyone could educate me on how to do this properly. I promise once I've read that super secret seo billion dollar a month week ebook I just downloaded. I will properly compensate you.
