Subject: Cotton seen 4/20

I saw James Cotton performing a couple of days ago. It's his first tour
since throat surgery. He sat through the performance, which lasted two
hours. He played great harp, although he got lost in a couple of songs.
He sang four or five songs in a sandpaper over gravel voice.

Dave Maxwell was on keyboard, Steve Freund on guitar. No drums or bass.
Robert Jr. Lockwood sat in on a couple of tunes. Peter "Madcat" Ruth and
Sherry Kane opened with a very energetic set. All in all, a very enjoyable
show.

Cotton said he had been in the hospital two months. There was a woman with
him. I believe she is his traveling nurse. My fiancee (also a nurse) thinks
so too, based on the way the woman was watching Cotton, and the nurse-type
wristwatch she was wearing. I hope James is taking care of himself. At
least he didn't seem to be hitting the alcohol too hard.

He mentioned he has a new album coming out in June. I didn't catch the title
or label.

P.S. Tomorrow, at 2:00pm EDT, my fiancee and I will be getting married.
If you get a chance, please give us a thought or a prayer.
