Angela Strehli *22.11.1945
Angela Strehli (* 22. November 1945 in Lubbock, Texas) ist eine US-amerikanische Bluessängerin, Songwriterin und Bluesgeschichtsforscherin.
Angela Strehlis Vater war Collegeprofessor.[1]In den frühen 1960er-Jahren begann Angela Strehli, Bass und Mundharmonika zu spielen, wandte sich aber bald dem Gesang zu. 1966 besuchte sie als Vertreterin der YWCA Chicago und hörte hier Konzerte von Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters und Buddy Guy.[2] In ihrem letzten Universitätsjahr an der University of Texas, das sie mit einem Abschluss in Psychologie und Soziologie beendete, gründete sie mit Lewis Cowdrey "The Fabulous Rockets". 1972 war sie Gründungsmitglied von "Southern Feeling", gemeinsam mit W. C. Clark und Denny Freeman. 1975 wurde sie Stage Managerin und Soundtechnikerin von "Antone's", einem Nachtclub in Austin, Texas. Dort entdeckte und förderte sie auch den jungen Bluesmusiker Stevie Ray Vaughan. Aus ihrer Idee, Bluesmusiker bei ihrem Auftritt aufzunehmen, besonders wenn sie keine Plattenfirma mehr hatten, entstand die Livemusik-Reihe "Antone's Records and Tapes".[3].
Strehli arbeitete unter anderem mit Andy Santana, Elvin Bishop und Pinetop Perkins zusammen und trat bei Festivals wie dem "Notodden Blues Festival", "Long Beach Blues Festival", "Edmonton's Labatt Blues Festival" und dem "San Francisco Blues Festival" auf. Strehli lebt heute in San Francisco. Ihr Bruder Al schrieb bereits früh Choräle und ist ein bedeutender Spieler spanischer Gitarrenmusik.

In the early 1960s, Strehli learned the harmonica and bass guitar before becoming a vocalist.[1] In 1966 she visited Chicago, and attended concerts given by Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters and Buddy Guy. In her final university year, Strehli and Lewis Cowdrey formed the Fabulous Rockets. Strehli then sang as a backing vocalist for James Polk and the Brothers and assisted with Storm, which had been formed by Cowdrey and Jimmie Vaughan.[2]
In 1972, she was a founding member of Southern Feeling, along with W. C. Clark and Denny Freeman. Three years later Strehli became the stage manager and sound technician at Antone's, a nightclub in Austin, Texas. By 1986, Strehli had recorded Stranger Blues (EP) which help launch Antone's own record label.[2] Her debut album was Soul Shake (1987, Antone's Records), and she appeared on Dreams Come True, with Lou Ann Barton and Marcia Ball (1990). Her own effort Blonde and Blue (1993, Rounder Records) assisted in building the Austin, Texas blues scene, alongside nightclub owner Clifford Antone, Kim Wilson, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimmie Vaughan.[1] In 1998, Strehli released Deja Blue, and Blue Highway followed in 2005.[1]
Strehli has either recorded, toured or performed with Andy Santana, Elvin Bishop and Pinetop Perkins, and appeared at festivals including Notodden Blues Festival, Long Beach Blues Festival, Edmonton's Labatt Blues Festival and the San Francisco Blues Festival. In 2003, she recorded music for the tribute album, Shout, Sister, Shout: A Tribute to Sister Rosetta Tharpe.

Rod Price *22.11.1947
Die Londoner Hard Rock-Band Foghat wurde 1971 von „Lonesome“ Dave Peverett, Rod Price, Tony Stevens und Roger Earl gegründet. Peverett, Earl und Stevens hatten bereits zusammen bei der Bluesrock-Band Savoy Brown gespielt, nun vereinten sie gemeinsam mit Price die Musikgenres Boogie, Blues und Hard Rock in einer Band. Nachdem Namen wie Brandywine, Track und Hootch abgelehnt worden waren, einigte man sich schließlich auf Foghat. Der Name (deutsch: Nebelhut) leitet sich von einem Fantasiewort her, das bei einem Scrabble-Spiel entstand.
Rod Price (born Roderick Michael Price, 22 November 1947, Willesden, North London, United Kingdom[1] — died 22 March 2005, Wilton, New Hampshire, United States[2]) was an English guitarist who was best known for his work with the rock band Foghat.[2] He was known as 'The Magician Of Slide', and 'Slide King Of Rock And Roll', due to his slide guitar playing.[2]
Career
At the age of 21, Price joined the British blues band Black Cat Bones (replacing Paul Kossoff), which recorded one album, Barbed Wire Sandwich. The album was released at the end of 1969, when British blues was being supplanted by rock, and though artistically successful it was a commercial failure. The band dissolved, and Price joined Foghat when the group was first formed in London in 1971. He played on the band's first ten albums, released from 1972 through to 1980. His signature slide playing ability helped propel the band to being one of the most successful rock groups in the United States during the 1970s. His slide playing was featured distinctly on Foghat songs "Drivin' Wheel", "Stone Blue", and the group's biggest hit, "Slow Ride",[2] which was a top 20 hit in 1976. Price's final performance with Foghat was at the Philadelphia Spectrum on 16 November 1980. He was replaced by guitarist Erik Cartwright.
Price virtually disappeared from the music business until 1990, when he briefly joined forces with Foghat vocalist Dave Peverett. Foghat had actually split a few years after Price left, and drummer Roger Earl had reformed the band without Peverett, who decided to start up his own version of the band and invited Price to participate. Price was in and out of the band for the next couple of years, but agreed to commit totally to a reunion featuring all four original Foghat members in 1993.
Foghat then released Return Of The Boogie Men in September 1994. The album failed to gain as much commercial success as the band had previously earned, but nevertheless they hit the road and began touring regularly across North America, rebuilding their reputation as an excellent live act. Foghat released the Road Cases CD in 1998, a live recording which further cemented Price's slide virtuosity. A DVD entitled Two Centuries Of Boogie, recorded at a 1996 concert in Dayton, Ohio gives a close-up and first-hand view of Price's guitar abilities. It also features a very in-depth interview with the musician himself, as well as other members of Foghat.
Price once again left Foghat in 1999, after vocalist Dave Peverett was diagnosed with cancer. The singer returned to the band after several months of recuperation, but by this point Price had decided he wanted to step away from full-time road work and parted company with Foghat. He was replaced by guitarist Bryan Bassett.
Price began a solo career at the beginning of the 21st century, and returned to his blues roots. He released two CDs, Open (2002) and West Four (2003).[2] He toured and performed in blues clubs across the United States, and was featured at guitar seminars and workshops as well during this period.
Price died at his home in Wilton, New Hampshire, on 22 March 2005, after he fell down a flight of stairs when suffering a heart attack.[2] He was survived by his wife Jackie and five children.[2]
Price was married to Robyn Renzi in the 1970s but they divorced in 1979. The marriage produced no children.
During his long career, Price also collaborated with Shakey Vick's Blues Band, Champion Jack Dupree,[2] Duster Bennett, Eddie Kirkland,[3] Muddy Waters,[2] John Lee Hooker,[2] Willie Dixon,[2] and David "Honeyboy" Edwards.

Whistlin'
Alex Moore (November 22, 1899 – January 20, 1989)[1] was an American
blues pianist, singer and whistler. He is best remembered for his
recordings of "Across The Atlantic Ocean" and "Black Eyed Peas and Hog
Jowls."[2]
Early life
Moore was born Alexander Herman Moore in Dallas, Texas.[3] After his father's death, Moore dropped out of school to support his mother and two siblings. He learned the piano before entering the United States Army in 1916. His overall sound during the 1920s combined elements of the blues, ragtime, barrelhouse boogie, and stride. The same decade saw Moore acquire his nickname, based upon a whistle he made while playing the piano.[4]
Career
In 1929, he made his debut recordings for Columbia Records. The records he made did not sell in great quantities, and Moore did not record again until 1937, when he issued a few sides on Decca Records.[1]
It was 1951 before Moore recorded again with RPM Records/Kent. However, throughout the 1940s and 1950s, Moore performed in clubs in Dallas and occasionally other parts of Texas. Arhoolie Records signed him to a recording contract in 1960, and those subsequent recordings saw him obtain nationwide recognition. Throughout the 1960s, Moore played at clubs and festivals in America, as well as a small number of festivals across Europe.[1] He toured with the American Folk Blues Festival in 1969, performing on the same bill as Earl Hooker and Magic Sam.[4] The same year he recorded a session in Stuttgart, Germany, which led to the release of Alex Moore in Europe.[4] He did not record again in either the 1970s or 1980s, yet continued to give live performances up to his death.[1]
He remembered and sang again the blues he had recorded in the 1920s and 1930s, such as "West Texas Woman" and "Blue Bloomer Blues", with their touching and poetic lyrics.[5]
In 1987, Moore was granted a National Heritage Fellowship by the National Endowment for the Arts, becoming the first African American Texan to receive such an honor.[4]
The year before his death, he recorded Wiggle Tail, his final session for Rounder Records[1] On November 22, 1988, the state of Texas designated his birthday 'Alex Moore Day.'[3]
Personal
Moore died of a heart attack in January 1989 in Dallas, aged 89.[2][4] He never married, but was survived by a son and daughter. He was interred at the Lincoln Memorial Cemetery in Dallas.[4]
Legacy
Music journalist Tony Russell wrote that "Moore was so odd a performer that some newcomers to the blues have been uncertain whether to take him seriously. By the time he became moderately well-known on the international blues scene of the 1960s and 1970s; his always singular style had burgeoned into florid eccentricity, and he would reminisce tirelessly in a foggy half-shout about youthful high times in his hometown, over skipping blues and boogie-woogie piano patterns with occasional bursts of shrill whistling."
