J.J. Cale RIP

[Lee Brenkman]

I have kind words and thoughts for most booking agents. Mike Kappus is a exception.
He was the most, and possibly the FIRST honest agent Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker ever had.

Here's what he had to say about the passing of his long time client J.J. Cale.

Re: J.J. Cale RIP

Rosebud has been sending blues acts out to Kansas for almost as long as I can remember. Mike is a straight-up agent and a no-b.s. guy; he's the exception in the industry.

I've been listening to Road to Escondido for 2 days. I'm digging for my vinyl copy of Troubadour...

You're missed, JJ.

ps. the "other" Cale.. John (ex Velvet Underground) is also worthy of renewed listening...
