It’s true. You (and I<\/em>) don’t know until we do. Check this out. <\/p>\n

A Quick Story<\/h2>\n

I’m not sure exactly what year it was…sometime\u00a0<\/em>in the 1980’s though\u00a0– my friend, Eric Nusbaum, dragged me to the concert I’m about to tell you about.<\/p>\n

I was in Buffalo for the weekend-I used to visit there a lot because Eric*, and a few other buddies of mine, either lived there or in Niagara\u00a0Falls. Anyway…<\/p>\n

*Eric was a comedian at the time. He was the MC and the manager at Yuk Yuk’s, one of THE places for comedy at the time.<\/p>\n

Here’s an article about Yuk Yuks<\/a>-featuring a picture of Eric. Anyway…<\/p>\n

Eric asked me if I wanted to go see\u00a0Muddy Waters<\/strong>\u00a0play at The Imperial Garage in Niagara Falls..<\/p>\n

My response: “I don’t know. Who the heck is Muddy Waters<\/em>?”<\/p>\n

Eric looked at me like I was an alien life form, and said…”What???? You don’t know who Muddy Waters is<\/em>?”<\/p>\n

Truth be told, I had “heard<\/em>” of Muddy Waters, but I couldn’t name one song of his…nor hum one. \u00a0Now-years later, I feel like an idiot for not “knowing<\/em>” who Muddy was.<\/p>\n

In any event, Eric convinced me to see Muddy. And wow. Just wow!<\/p>\n
