Apparently John Mayall has pneumonia and has cancelled his North American tour. My buddies just saw him close out the New Orleans JazzFest at the beginning of the month. Best wishes for him, he's 84 or 85 years old.

    Agreed. It made me spin The Turning Point last night. Pneumonia is not for sissies, especially at his age. Hoping for the best outcome.

    Here is for a quick and successful recovery.

    I have had Bob Seger tickets for over a year waiting for his recovery. The new date is January 2019. Better see these guys before it is too late. That is, if it isn't already.
    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    Willie Nelson left the Outlaw Country festival the other night he was the headliner, and ended up not being able to perform. These guys want to keep us fans happy and still tour. Both John Mayall and Willie Nelson have new releases which are both great, they both should hang it up with the tours, this fan of both is happy enough getting good new material out of them. Here is hoping for a speedy recovery for both of them.
