Last Thursdaynight was a magnificent blues nigtht. That night I went to a performance of Cuby & The Blizzards in musiccentre Vredenburg in Utrecht.
At first there was Ralph de Jongh to warm up the public before the main event started. I myself like to lsten and see how Ralph performs the blues. When Ralph picks up the guitar he seems to become a complete other man. He becomes part of his guitar and the blues he is playing, you see the blues coming out of each vibre of his body. Ralphs blues can be best compared with the original delta blues from the Mississippi Delta. When you close your eyes you hear Jhon Lee Hooker but at the same time the slight differences in the sound so which makes Ralph so Unique.
After that Cuby & The Blizards made their entance. Harry "Cuby" Muskee, 65 years of age, is a performer through the heart, a proffesional, a stage animal, a perfectionist and super cool on stage. He directs his band and gives the soloïsts the room they need on stage. He is still top. The program is almost the same as on the live recorded cd "Live in het Oude Luxor", which I bought during the break.
A night with good music, and as all good things it was over to soon.
Ralph, Harry,Helmig, Hans, Herman, Erwin and other musicians thank you for a rememberable night.
