Boogie music & them mean old Biker Blues

摘要

Gota package in the mail last week, containing a paperback book with a letter enclosed. The letter was from a man named Fito de la Parra, who explained that he'd enjoyed a touring story I did recently for our sister publication, Motorcycle Travel & Adventure, about looking for the roots of the blues in the Mississippi Delta on a Triumph Bonneville. De la Parra wrote, "Hell, I should have done that ride. Maybe I still will." He then went on to explain that he was a drummer for a Sixties blues band that's still going strong, and said, "From the gray in your beard in the photos, you look old enough to remember my band, Canned Heat."
