Trucks Tedeschi Band

Papa Tom, waiting for the band to take the stage

"How blue can you get?"--B. B. King
Papa Tom and I took in the Trucks Tedeschi Band on Wednesday, January 18.  Derek Trucks is the nephew of the Allman Brothers Band drummer Butch Trucks.  He started playing professionally, with the Allman Brothers, as a kid.  The 11-piece band was amazing!  Susan can belt out the blues.  I think they must have raided the Julliard School of Music for their band members.  Each and every one of them could sing and play like nobody's business.

If you have 8 minutes and 41 seconds, you've GOT to check out the Tedeschi Trucks Band video, above.  And yes, the band has two drum sets.  Ryder and Skyler: as bass players, you've got to watch at least as far as the bass solo.  The guy's phenomenal!
