Joe Bonamassa = busy man--2011 alone saw 3 discs + a group thingie. Young as he looks, he's got 25+ years in the biz. Beth Hart just adds that extra dimension.

CoCo Montoya Is left-handed and plays a left-handed guitar with a right-handed neck (strings upside down) + he started as a drummer. Go figure. Was with John Mayall for 10 years.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atr73gUUn5Q << could be a lot of guys theme-song. Yeah, me too (once).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jwwiTewxAc << "Have You Heard", a tribute to his years with the Bluesbreakers...not a cascade of notes, just the right ones. Mastery, folks.

Answer: You have a Dad that's crazy for the schiz...and who loves you dearly and does a proper job of introducing...Love ya, Daddy Popovic--you done good.
Steve Cropper Memphis soul music might not exist but for him. Not least, a prolific and exemplary songwriter and producer.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IM6MEb2xnLk << any in the Aussie audience catch this tour? Hip shirt he's wearing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zh6hM43pCCI << A bit disjointed but great fun. Yes, that's Paul Schaeffer on keys and doubtless, music director as well. >> this runs 35 minutes--grab a beverage.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LktPcwEovfQ << "Sublime" is the word...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-az-5A23Js << talk about laying back in a (yellow-sneakered) groove...until he doesn't. Joe Walsh, natch. The Colonel's just playing amusedly along. Giuseppe is taking some time off from the Eagles to get rootsy with Booker T and the MGs--does it get any better/
