Like Robben, Michael Bloomfield was my inspiration to become a blues guitar player in the 1960's. During the past 5 years, I've become friendly with Mike's mother, Dorothy Shinderman, and try to visit her in L.A. yearly. Periodically, I also like to check out the website that Mike's brother, Allen, put together to honor his memory to see if there have been any audio or video additions. Well, I just discovered that tomorrow, July 28, the site will be airing the first video part (25 minutes) of The Michael Bloomfield Story.

Thanks for that, MB was the one who inspired my love for the blues also, and influences my playing to this day.
