Portland's Bluesman

Peace out, Bluesman. It was a privilege to see you perform at Key Largo and Harry's Mustache and The Candlelight Room, thanks to a buddy of mine who always seemed to know exactly where you were, along with Curtis Selgado and Robert Cray. You rocked it, my man Paul DeLay. If I can sound all bluesy and street for a second, make no mistake, brothers and sisters: there's something magical about feeling the art and sponteneity of a musician, particularly when talking aboutz the blues. Multiply that goodness for Paul DeLay. Can't put my finger on it, but his energy and talent and gift to us definitely had some grace and generosity going on.
