Re: [Harp-L] Richard Newell/King Biscuit Boy



I picked up an album of his years ago in a junk shop,his stuff AFaik was never released in Newzealand.The owner said an american merchant sailor had lost his money in a card game and had had to sell his watch,records etc etc so as to be able to still send his wife state side some pay...thats the blues..
Anyway I near wore that record out and as proof that it was a good one, someone stole it after one of our parties...
Richard could sure play..may his new harp not be a stringed one. ;-)
Rick
in NZ



He was awesome with a HUGE fat sound.....I covered a his version of the johnny jones classic "Hoy, Hoy, Hoy"....

he'll be missed in the Blues & Harmonica world.....terrific singer also!!!

best,
rob

Not sure how many people know this on the list, I wasn' t posting on list back then but Richard Newell, King Biscuit Boy up here in Hamilton, Canada passed away January/2003, got a chance to meet him once & heard him a half dozen times or so on our Hess St strip.
