Awhile" Limited Edition EP / Independent <BR>Release<BR><BR><BR>Bob Bingham is
best known as an early member of Twin Cities blues legends <BR>Lamont Cranston.
He was also a member of the near mythic Aces, Straights, & <BR>Shuffles, a
band that included Kim Wilson<BR>(Fabulous Thunderbirds), Kent DuChaine (intl
touring guitarist), and Luther <BR>Tucker (Muddy Waters), and Bruce McCabe
(Jonny Lang, Hoopsnakes, Lamont <BR>Cranston)<BR><BR>Taken from a Bruce McCabe
interview at mnblues.com "and I moved back home <BR>and worked in a milk carton
factory during the day and played in a band at <BR>night. I remember waking up
in the dark once knowing I was late for one or <BR>the other but I wasn't sure
if it was morning or night. The drummer from the <BR>country band sent me a tape
of a band he was in in Minneapolis and asked if <BR>I wanted to join. The tape
was great and here's why. The harp player was Kim <BR>Wilson who later got
famous in the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Bob Bingham <BR>(Charlie's brother) was one
of the guitar players, Kent Duchaine on bass, <BR>and the other guitar player
was Luther Tucker . And guess what album I knew <BR>him from- "Pure Cotton" That
James Cotton record I loved. That was enough <BR>for me. I loaded an upright
into a U- Haul trailer behind my 64 Chevy and <BR>headed for Minneapolis. It
turned out it was an audition but luckily I <BR>passed. Luther Tucker had left
by the time I got there so I never got to <BR>meet him. That band was called
Aces, Straights, and Shuffles. My first show <BR>was at the Cabooze, a new club
at the time. My time in Aces was a tremendous <BR>learning experience. All these
guys knew the blues inside out. I was just <BR>starting at that really, and I
didn't have a good way to mike up the piano <BR>so nobody could hear me half the
time, which was probably a good thing. <BR>After a year, Jimmy Vaughan kept
coming up to Minneapolis to try and get Kim <BR>to move down to Texas. Kim and I
were sharing an apartment at the time and <BR>he decided to make the move. I
remember I could have gone with him. Not that <BR>I had a sure thing at joining
their band, but I remember weighing it out.<BR><BR>Come on down THIS SAT July 28
