Snooky Pryor Show Harp-l-Digest Wednesday, 24 April 1996 Volume 01 : Number 478 James Hanson Last Saturday I went to hear Snooky Pryor play. He was backed up by a local band, Roadside Louie and the Dusters. Roadside Louie is a fine harp player and smooth vocalist himself (in) a red suit with red and white shoes and a white Fedora with red band. Even at 75, Snooky Pryor was excellent… one of the old-time original Chicago blues players. For the last two or three songs of the last set, he brought Roadside Louie up to play some hot harp duets. ~J.Hanson Harp Review			Playing with some greats such as Maria Muldaur Carey Bell Son Seals and other legends on stage at the Blues Festival

Spotlight on SBS Members Silk City Release Blues CD WEST PATERSON - The Silk City Recording Company, in conjunction with Loopy Loon Productions, Inc., has recorded the most popular and talented artists that frequent the historic Great Notch Inn in Little Falls, NJ to create a live compilation album entitled Standing Room Only: Songs From the Last Roadhouse.	ROADSIDE LOUIE is a true 'musician's musician,' having spent his latter teens hitchhiking across the country with little more than a guitar and a harmonica to keep him company. Louie eventually returned to his NJ roots and formed THE DUSTERS, who have backed such celebrated blues artists as Homesick James, Snooky Pryor, and James Cotton. They have also played numerous gigs as a band in their own right, performing at such divergent venues as the Stanhope House, Medieval Times, and the Blues 2000 and Beyond Festival. In addition to their high powered blend of blues and rockabilly, the Dusters are also widely known for their zoot suits and boleros, which landed them a spot as a runner-up in Delta Snake Magazine's Readers' Poll for "Most Unusual Stage Costume."
