Hey Lee, when I saw John Hiatt & The Goners were playing Telluride in September, I texted my buddy who drums for Sonny. I asked if they were doing a run of shows and he said yes, about a month and a half. He was not part of the Goners, which was Sonny, Dave Ranson and a different drummer (can’t recall his name), so he won’t be on those gigs, but it will be Buddy’s band and John, Sonny, Dave and their drummer (Kenneth Blevins maybe?) as the Goners performing. I can see a sit in on Hiatt’s “Feels Like Rain” since Buddy covered it a while back.

I think the first time I saw Sonny was in a bar in either Kalamazoo or Grand Rapids, MI. It was in support of his album The Road We're On. I think it was announced as him and The Goners. That Dave Ranson you mentioned was one of the three that played that night. Really nice guy! All three of them hung around after the show and signed whatever you wanted. I took a window poster down from the window and they all signed it. It was an awesome show.

Sonny is probably the most unique slide player I have ever heard. I can pick him out of anything. Hearing him and Buddy Guy is going to be interesting as they are obviously both lead players. And Buddy playing second fiddle to anyone is rare. He used to have a guy in his band and I think his name is Scott Holt. How this guy isn't bigger is beyond me. I liked him playing lead more than Buddy which is saying a lot!
