Bobby G Band returns to the stage Putting a guitar or a pair of drumsticks into Bobby Ginsberg's hands is like giving rattles to a baby. He also geeks out over an amplifier's impedance, gushes over the compression in a Don Henley song and explains why he uses a separate power amp with his home stereo setup. "Without the extra juice, the other components are too weak for those speakers," which are recording studio monitors, he explains, pulling up a photo on his phone of Rush bass player Geddy Lee sitting at a mixing board. He holds the image to eye level: "How cool is that?" As the owner of an elaborate Philipstown studio, The Loft, filled with screens, consoles, a drum set and a wall of dangling guitars, he would find the photo amusing. After the pandemic derailed the Bobby G Blues Band, his chief musical outlet, the Brooklyn-born blues boy is reuniting its members to perform a set at the Howland Cultural Center on Oct. 25. Ginsberg sings and plays guitar. A city boy who loves fishing, Ginsberg came to the Hudson Valley after 9/11 to hang with a friend and liked it so much that he began splitting his time between Forest Hills and Philipstown. Ginsberg, 62, worked as an engineer for General Electric and now makes fudge at his Cold Spring Candy Co. at 11 Main St. "Someone whose word I trust told me that a candy shop in Cold Spring would be a good addition, and she was right," he says. "I taught myself how to make fudge and chocolate." He's known for schmoozing with customers and feeling out if they play guitar because upstairs, in a third-floor nook with a great view of the village gazebo, sit four dozen amplifiers and guitars awaiting buyers at his Vintage Guitars of Cold Spring. "I've sold a guitar, amp or pedal to just about every player in the area," Ginsberg says. Visiting an event with longstanding scene-makers at the Howland Center a few weeks back, he hugged and mugged, working the room like the mayor of Music Town. The blues lovers began jamming in the early 2010s at Joe's Irish Pub in Beacon (now Momo Valley, although there's still a shamrock in the sidewalk). The cast rotates, but the mainstays include Andy Rutcofsky on saxophone and bass player Kenny Kaufman. Ginsberg and his coterie have recorded a dozen studio and live CDs at the Towne Crier and Dennings Point Distillery in Beacon, The Falcon in Marlboro and other venues. One is named Beacon Blues, a riff on the Steely Dan song "Deacon Blues." A civic-minded guy, Ginsberg donated a mixer to the Howland Center, where he co-hosted its long-running open mic with Thom Joyce for many years. He also loaned a Digital Audio Tape (DAT) machine to the Putnam History Museum to help it access data captured in the antiquated format. Like many guitarists drawn to classic and progressive rock, Ginsberg discovered the electric guitar-driven blues of the 1940s and '50s (Chicago Blues), although he also appreciates the acoustic pickers from the 1920s and '30s (Mississippi Delta Blues). Beyond their feeling and technique, lead guitar players seek to develop a signature tone, which starts with the strings, guitar and perhaps a pick, of course, but timbre is also shaped with effect pedals and the amplifier. To dial in a warmer sound, Ginsberg always uses an amp with vacuum tubes rather than a solid-state circuit. The band's repertoire includes a handful of originals ("Nine O'Clock Blues" and "The Infant Child"), but he mostly mixes up classic rock covers like "Whole Lotta Love," by Led Zeppelin, and "After Midnight," by J. J. Cale, with blues staples "Stormy Monday" and "The Thrill is Gone." A photo included with one of his discs shows him as a child grinning while holding a guitar. He became proficient in drums but decided to go with an electric guitar after hearing "Purple Haze," by Jimi Hendrix. "I knew that day I had to learn to play lead guitar," he says. "Hendrix started playing rhythm and blues in the 1950s and, at heart, he's a blues guitar player. I mean, 'Red House'? Come...

Blues musician Robert Lighthouse may have grown up in Sweden, but as soon as he turned 18 he came to the United States to live with a native American family on a Hopi reservation and learn about his beloved Mississippi Delta Blues. He had no idea that decades later, he'd travel to a war zone to make music for people living with daily terror. He also had no idea how profoundly that trip would affect him.

It's 1930 in Banks Mississippi, Robert Johnson walks into a juke joint where two of the most popular blues guitarists of the day, Son House and Willie Brown, were playing a show for a packed house. He had not been seen in almost a year and asked Son House if he could sit in his chair and play a few songs. Son responded saying, “Alright, but you sit in that chair, you better do something with it.” Son House had heard Robert play before and had not been impressed by what he thought of as Robert's mediocre talent. Robert, a young man who was already a widower at age 19 strode up onto the stage and sat down with his guitar. The audience had no idea what was going on, but what happened next started one of the most famous legends in Mississippi Delta Blues history and would have a profound impact on music for the next 80+ years. Surrounded in mystery, there are only three known pictures of him and 29 recorded songs. Sadly, only 8 years after that performance he would become the inaugural member of the macabre 27 club.

From a 1900's-era commissary on the edge of a sprawling cotton field, about a half-hour north of where Delta bluesman Robert Johnson supposedly sold his soul to the devil, Hank Burdine tells Ramsey Russell about the origins of the Mississippi Delta blues. The precursor to rock-n-roll, this music genre was also true inspiration of the recognized king himself, Elvis Presley.  It's more the fascinating story of people, culture, time and place than of distinct, metal-stringed notes emanating from sweaty juke joints. And from personal experiences and past friendships, nobody but nobody tells it better than Mississippi Delta raconteur Hank Burdine. Please subscribe, rate and review Duck Season Somewhere podcast.

"Some days it's ham and bacon; other days there ain't nothin' shakin'!" So claims globetrotting blues legend, Harry Manx. From his secluded back yard on Salt Spring Island off the Western Canadian coast, Harry creates and refines his unique fusion of Eastern and Western sound and song. Harry has refashioned classic Mississippi Delta Blues with the use of the Mohan veena, a 20-string instrument with the particularly haunting and mystical sound of the Indian subcontinent's regional legacy. Harry's fans around the world refer to the genre he invented as "Mystic-sippi Blues". He shares tips on creating your own "brand" in writing, composing, and performing based on how your life experiences make you distinctive. And what about marketing? Harry describes how he formed his own record label, found an agent, and his own delicate balance between composing / recording and touring / performing. This former roadie and "sound engineer turned musician" (Rush, Crowbar) has a treasure trove of quotable quotes borne of years in the studio and on the road. Listen. Learn. Loosen up.
