He's rockin' the "Nuttin Special"!
Yesterday I attended a wedding for my friends of several years Roger and Cheryl. They've been together for years and are quite the pair. It was a small gathering of friends and family, held at a private social hall. Food and drinks! Small setting but what a huge affair if ya know what I mean. We walked into the place only to find out that secretly, the bride Cheryl had arrainged for entertainment. The guy is called "The Sauce Boss" . Bill Wharton is his name. This guy plays a form of blues that can really only be called his own. He's in his late 60s but don't let that fool you! I've never seen anybody that can get the crowd into the groove and on their feet as fast as this guy does. He was solo in his act at the wedding but usually has backup. His show is always focused around cooking, thus the name Sauce Boss. He sets up a burner on stage and a huge pot and as he does his routine, he's constantly, checking, adding ingredients, and stirring that pot, all the while, cooking the blues too! He cooks a gumbo during his show that is then offered to the crowd to eat and it's killer too. Anything left over after the party is donated to food lines and such.
I took a bunch of pix but they are sorry. All I had was my cell phone and it just doesn't do very well with the light I had, plus the wiggles...boy, I must have the shakes. sorry for the pix quality, but enjoy if ya can. The Sauce Boss got the people up and several took turns stirring the pot. The crowd consisted of all ages. Lot's of pretty women around, but it was adjudged by us in the peanut gallery that the two sexiest women in the place at this deal were also two of the oldest women in the place. Did the old ticker good...
