Vincent's Photos

Vincent (aka VT; e-mail: p00061@psilink.com) - is an unofficial but regular reviewer on the Blues-L mailing list. He reviews Blues CDs and the live gigs he attends. He has been on the list since September 1993. His first review was in November, 1993 - and with lots of encouragement from the established members of the list this became a regular item on the Blues-L. Because of the timeliness of the list and the Internet - the Blues-L has "scooped" the world on several reviews - for example: Buddy Guy's first recordings on "Southern Blues - 1957-63" Paula/Jewel CD26. Mark Naftalin's release of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band's live album "Strawberry Jam (Recorded Live 1966-68)" Winner 446. Several on the Earwig label. More recently he has been taking photographs at these gigs, some of which are presented here.
