Speaker 1: At the bottom of the hour, we are gonna hear
Speaker 1: from the Broncos. They've got a press conference with their
Speaker 1: number one draft pick that everybody in Colorado went who
Speaker 1: last night except for Ken the bass player. More on
Speaker 1: that in a moment joining us now. Though in the
Speaker 1: meantime you hear him here as Jimmy Segenberger. Maybe you
Speaker 1: read his columns in the Denver gazett as Jimmy Sangenberger,
Speaker 1: but he's in here today as his alter ego. Oh
Speaker 1: that's right, Jimmy Junior. The Jimmy Junior Blues Band is
Speaker 1: playing on Sunday as part of the Douglas County tenth
Speaker 1: Annual Law Enforcement Appreciation Day Because in Douglas County, we
Speaker 1: like our cops call it's crazy, we love the cops,
Speaker 1: and it is a family friendly event. They got guest speakers,
Speaker 1: they got food, they got drinks, and they got music
Speaker 1: by the Jimmy Jr.
Speaker 2: Blues Band.
Speaker 1: Now I have a theory, Jimmy, why you call yourself
Speaker 1: to Jimmy Junior Blues Band? Okay, I think you think
Speaker 1: it makes maybe you sound black.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: And since it's a blues band, I'm blue is rooted
Speaker 1: in the black experience.
Speaker 2: I think you just maybe wanted to, you know, sort
Speaker 2: of just get a little of that vibe. Am I right,
Speaker 2: have you been talking with my buddy Tay Anderson.
Speaker 3: I'm not.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sure he'd suggest that's the reason. There are
Speaker 4: two main reasons. One I actually am a junior right.
Speaker 4: Two Junior Wells is my favorite blues harmonica player, an
Speaker 4: old Chicago blues guy. If you're familiar with blues guitarist
Speaker 4: Buddy Guy, the legends still alive today, really the reigning
Speaker 4: king of the blues.
Speaker 2: He was very close friends with Junior.
Speaker 4: Wells and they used to do a lot together back
Speaker 4: in the day as well, and so sort of channeling
Speaker 4: that a little bit.
Speaker 1: They're black and the really I'm just throwing you know,
Speaker 1: you want to you can idea how any way you want. Jimmy,
Speaker 1: if people learned nothing from our brethren across the islands,
Speaker 1: that you can just decide you're going to be black
Speaker 1: on Sunday and be part of the Jimmy Junior Blues Band.
Speaker 2: There's anything that can happen if you just put your
Speaker 2: mind to it right where where? And Ken is with
Speaker 2: us as well.
Speaker 1: Ken is normally the bass player, but in order to
Speaker 1: be more animated on the radio, he is a guitar
Speaker 1: player today because, as I said, the players don't do
Speaker 1: anything but stand there and look cool and barely move
Speaker 1: their hands.
Speaker 2: Ken. That's right, isn't it true?
Speaker 3: No, I'm very very animated on stage as well. And
Speaker 3: since you brought that up, one of the reasons to
Speaker 3: come see Jimmy play is that he gets into it.
Speaker 3: I've never played with anybody whoever has gotten into playing
Speaker 3: the harmonica or any other instrument for that matter, as
Speaker 3: much as Jimmy has.
Speaker 2: It is as much a.
Speaker 3: Sight as it is an oral experience to see Jimmy perform.
Speaker 2: Is it like Joe Cocker level? What are we looking
Speaker 2: at right now?
Speaker 3: Similar to that, only it's a little bit more crouching.
Speaker 1: Crouching tiger, hidden dragon kind of stuff. Maybe a leg
Speaker 1: kick here and there.
Speaker 3: It's it's I can't obviously, I'm struggling for words.
Speaker 4: Music is flowing through kim It literally, yeah, it really does.
Speaker 2: Even at practice. It's just this great thing to be
Speaker 2: a part.
Speaker 1: You've never really talked about how you started loving blues music,
Speaker 1: because I too love blues music, and for me, it
Speaker 1: really started when I started going to blue festivals and
Speaker 1: being exposed to some of the artists that you were
Speaker 1: talking about, and you know, just kind of really enjoying it.
Speaker 1: Although one of my friends once said to me, I
Speaker 1: don't know how you go to these blues festivals, because
Speaker 1: we'll go for an all day blues festivals. You like,
Speaker 1: after the third song at all stouts starts to sound the.
Speaker 2: Same, and I was like, Okay, maybe.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like a Mumford and Son, you know song, maybe,
Speaker 1: but there's so much more to it.
Speaker 2: When did you start loving the blue?
Speaker 4: When I was a little kid, real honestly, I mean
Speaker 4: I would coming home from the hospital as a newborn, myself,
Speaker 4: my younger brother, my younger sister. My parents had Steve
Speaker 4: Ray Vaughan's version of Live version of Mary had a
Speaker 4: little Lamb by Buddy Guy cued up in the car.
Speaker 4: I kid, you not first song coming home from the
Speaker 4: hospital as newborns so from birth raised on Stevie Ray
Speaker 4: and the Almand Brothers band. I mean, I was seven.
Speaker 4: We'd be in the car doing errands. My mom would
Speaker 4: be listening to the top forty radio. I had a
Speaker 4: portable CD players listening to Almenn Brothers and Steve rayvaugh
Speaker 4: at seven first concert Johnny Lang opening for Jeff Beck.
Speaker 2: Bedad took me. I was seven or eight years old.
Speaker 1: I discovered Jeff Beck when I did not return my
Speaker 1: Columbia recording house, and I still have the Jeff DECKCD
Speaker 1: that I got because of it. So if you'd like
Speaker 1: to borrow that, that's great, and I love it.
Speaker 2: I mean just the music. Grew up on blues and
Speaker 2: southern rock.
Speaker 4: My sister Caitlin will be joining us for a tune
Speaker 4: to say Long Train Running by the Doobie Brothers on Sunday,
Speaker 4: so that'll be fun as well. But it really it's
Speaker 4: just there's something that spoke to me and connected with
Speaker 4: me at that age. And because I'm a young.
Speaker 1: Black man growing up in this society, it probably was challenging.
Speaker 4: It makes it very difficult, and so you really channel
Speaker 4: and feel the blues. I will say this though, because
Speaker 4: I mentioned Buddy, I was eleven when I saw Buddy
Speaker 4: Guy and bb King first in concert at at Fiddlers.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's amazing. That's a lot of listeners. Jimmy put
Speaker 2: that into context. When were you eleven two.
Speaker 4: Thousand and one, not that long ago, not that long
Speaker 4: ago for some people.
Speaker 2: To me, it's quite a while ago.
Speaker 1: Well for the rest of us. Whatever, No, I'm just
Speaker 1: kidding you guys gonna play for us?
Speaker 2: Oh goodness, I mean, gush.
Speaker 4: I think we should start with given a couple of factors,
Speaker 4: I think we should start with our original that we've wrote.
Speaker 2: Together, actually go back by the years. This one is
Speaker 2: called blues Man through and Through.
Speaker 1: Bluesman through and Through by the Jimmy Junior Blues Band.
Speaker 2: Well do of them anyway, shall we say? The Jimmy
Speaker 2: Junior Duo.
Speaker 4: We gotta give all the credit here, that's for sure.
Speaker 4: He actually was the inspiration for this song. I said
Speaker 4: I'm a blues man through and through one day, and
Speaker 4: he said, that's gonna be the name of your first
Speaker 4: album Forever. We finally wrote this song.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm a bluesman, baby.
