I’m sad to hear about the death of my friend John Mayall. John was historically such an important figure in the English Blues scene. He nurtured the talent of many great guitarists including Peter Green, @EricClapton and @MickTaylorInfo. He was a walking encyclopaedia of American and English blues and a musical trailblazer for all of us. Thank you John, God bless 🙏❤️
John was a fellow artist and we are photographed here at the Vorpal Gallery, Laguna Beach, in July 1980 with @jonimitchell, Klaus Voormann, Commander Cody and Deborah Chesher.
Mick Jagger says he prefers touring to residencies:
"I'm very ambivalent about residencies personally because it makes it very expensive for people to come to residencies, it costs twice as much..
"I'm very comfortable moving around, personally. I like to go places."
