Willy was a pioneer in the: "I'm a white guy, but I'd really rather be black" that is so rampant today in music. I don't understand it. It's not honest music. What you are hearing is a fraud.
Sweet Willy,
WHOW, you where realy a STEADY DRIVIN, MAN,
this is realy cool, nasty and again a real masterpiece!!!!!!!!!
love and mis you forever.
gypsy sally xxxxxxx.
Thanks, Hinamauka , but don't forget the backing vocals: the sisters Dorene (Sweety) and Yadonna Wise from New Orleans. Willy used to call them ' my girls ' !
The guitar player here is the great Freddy Koella who has played with a number of artists including Bob Dylan. Percussionist is Boris Kinberg, bass player is David Keyes.
Very slight change to the October 10 event. Instead of Otto's we will go to:
Bar on Avenue A
170 Avenue A
NYC, 10009
It's much closer to the park. So gather at the park at 3pm, mingle and then head to the bar. Or just meet us at the bar around 5pm.
Celebrate Willy DeVille's life and music! Saturday, October 10 at 3pm in NYC. Tompkins Square Park, Avenue B side.
Share stories, emotions and Willy's amazing music. Bring stories/music or simply enjoy being with other fans and friends.
We have RSVP's from Canada, San Francisco, Kansas City and more! Don't miss this opportunity to celebrate the life and music of Willy DeVille!
If bad weather or you join us late we will be at Otto's Shrunken Head, 538 E. 14th St, NYC, 10009
Sorry to read this about Willy. We all hope he can perform again, but he needs to feel better and get healthy. It is not an uncommon disease, and people really do need to know the truth about it. Anyone can get it. We love Willy, we send him a big huge hug and kiss and we'll wait patiently for his return!
From Willy's website ..Feb 2009
It's with sadness and regret that we are forced to inform Willy's fans and promoters that his 2009 tour and production plans have to be postponed as he is being treated for Hepatitis C. It's Willy's hope that he will be able to build people's awareness of the disease and rid them of some of the misconceptions surrounding it. Willy will be back stronger than ever in 2010 and looks forward to seeing all of you very soon.
I WISH there were a YouTube of Willy doing "Dust My Broom." There was a time when he used to close shows with the great Elmore James classic. The guy can definitely play some slide guitar!!
I just love how this song starts smooth, cool and blue, then turns around…man it's red hot! Everyone needs the Berlin Trio CD set.
You know I need it, yes I do, YES I DO!
Woooooww QUE BUENO TREMENDOS MÚSICOS
Carismático y talentoso Willy…❤️
for ever

Merci pour ces renseignements, specialist.
@hinamauka was having a Willy night and see you were here too a couple of months ago. The soul that man felt was something else wasn't it?
The guitar player here is the great Freddy Koella who has played with a number of artists including Bob Dylan. Percussionist is Boris Kinberg, bass player is David Keyes.
Can someone tell me who the guitar player is in these shows? He's great. In fat I would like to know the whole line up of this band.
