Love Susan Tedeschi
Years ago I saw Susan Tedeschi and Buddy Guy warming up for Johnny Lang in Stanhope, NJ on what happened to be Buddy’s Birthday. Yes, you read that right, Buddy Guy was opening for Johnny Lang! Nothing against Johnny Lang, he was very respectful saying he didn’t deserve to bring Buddy picks, and inviting him onstage during his set. Anyway, Susan Tedeschi was awesome. Her band was good- this was before she joined up with Derek Trucks, but she was awesome.
Funny story....walking out of the show I overheard a woman commenting to her daughter: “I really liked the black guy.” I couldn’t help myself, I said “Well, the ‘black guy’ was Buddy Guy, a guitar legend that Eric Clapton once referred to as “the best guitarist in the world.”
As much as I found her reference a bit repulsive and condescending, I had to appreciate her taste.
