His colorful sobriquet (supplied by south Louisiana producer J.D. Miller) to the contrary, Louisiana blues harmonica player and guitarist Lazy Lester swears he never was all that lethargic--and the relentless pace of his 1960s Excello Records swamp blues classics "I'm a Lover Not a Fighter" and "I Hear You Knockin'" tends to back him up. Lazy Lester became Lightnin' Slim's harpist of choice, and his rediscovery was one of the happy results of the blues revival of the 1980s. [Lester knows more jokes than many comedians, and he'll almost always include a few in his performances. Talk to him off stage, and he'll tell you quite a few more!] Tonight Lester joins slide guitarist Studebaker John Grimaldi, who was born on Chicago's Italian-American West Side. Under the spell of music he heard on Maxwell Street, Chicago's famed blues melting pot, Grimaldi began performing with Studebaker John and the Hawks in the 1970s. The band name referred to the Studebaker Hawk, a car Grimaldi still owns today. As a songwriter and musician, Studebaker John has long been a major creative force in Chicago blues.
