Francis Clay & Donrad
The one time drummer for Mr. Muddy Waters. Francis Clay is one hell of a nice person and a blues legend. Francis has some of the greatest stories I've ever heard, and to be in his midst was a real honor. San Francisco, CA December 18, 1999.

Donrad & Sonny Rhodes
Sonny Rhodes is another legendary blues musician that is not just a great guy, he let me hold his Hawiian guitar for this photo. Sonny can play slide guitar so pure and beautiful, that you won't believe your ears. The sounds Sonny gets from his slide are unreal. This photo was taken after a taping of the "Blues Express" show in San Francisco, CA December 18, 1999.

Bobby Murray & Donrad
Bobby Murray is the guitarist for Etta James, his own band, and also accompanied Albert Collins for many years. He also was the house band for the "Blues Express" TV show. Bobby is a real smooth guitarist and can jam with the best of them. A cooler guy than Bobby is hard to find. This shot was taken in San Francisco, CA December 18, 1999 by Eric Predoehl

Billy Gibbons
Billy is one of the hottest blues guitarists going. If you doubt me, go see him live. Photo taken in Grand Rapids, MI October 15, 1999 by Donrad.

Donrad on Route 66
The legendary Route 66 somewhere in Oaklahoma during my "Couch & Hammock Tour." This may not be the blues, but it was a hell of a lot of fun! Photo taken in 1998 by Peter Bloink.
