The saying goes that if you can remember the 60s then you weren't there. Maybe the same goes for disco too. To be honest I'd never heard of him until I found out about cigar box guitars in December last year. His music is too heavy for my liking and if the back story is to be challenged then there's nothing else that interests me really. He's not the first to embellish a story and he won't be the last either. People like his music and that's what they should remember. The story doesn't say he wasn't homeless, just that he may have exaggerated a little. Lying isn't good, though sometimes kinder, but he got to ride the story to the top. Fair play to him but in answer maybe he now needs to understand that's possibly going to end. Was it worth lying about and for? Only he can answer that.

I can only hold Steve to what he's doing today, not from his past. It's sometimes interesting to find a history behind a legend but it boils down to can he perform?

LOL; Haters gonna hate. Most of this info is on Seasick Steve's site. He's a working musician and a damn good one at that. He's paid his dues and whatever his current incarnation I'll listen to and buy his music.

If true, you know what this means?  It means that all us members of CBN are more authentic bluesmen than Seasick Steve!!!

I'm cool with that.

I don't know about that..
There's a CBG member in here (who shall remain nameless) that used to make trance music.

Here's the link.. https://m.soundcloud.com/homeworkcausesbraindamage

Well, crap.  I like the old legend.  Regardless, Steve is a great player and singer and somehow has a lot of It factor.

Sounds legit. I'll take two. Did you say something about accepting beans as payment? If so I'll take four.

I'm going to do a runner before my jokes get even worse. I'm a runner bean.

Ha! Sounds like you need more fiber beans! Shall we say five fiber beans per guitar? Where do I sign?

well,well, iread this story in the Grauniad last week . it reminded me that Ssteve had said on tv that he had been working as a sound engineer in Norway (I think) now that is not a job you pick up on the road, it made me wonder at the time.On a tv show covering some music fest in the UK some young feller said how much he'd enjoyed  steve's set     " that was fantastic ,I've never heard music like that in my life !" 

Does it matter that Steve was putting on a show ?  A bloody good one at that..
