.................................................................................................... ....

Joanna Connor is a straight ahead traditional blues slide guitar player. (IMO: She would fit perfectly in Bonnie Raitt's band.)

Joanna Connor was born in Brooklyn in 1962. She started playing guitar at age 7. Moving to Worcester, MA., In her teens Joanna was gigging locally.

In 1981, at the age of 19, she was hired by saxophonist A.C. Reed, who took Connor out on tour. Her reputation blossomed when she smoked it up onstage during that first tour.

In 1989 Connor released her debut album on Blind Pig records titled "Believe It".

Even though Joanna isn't widely known as a top name. She has traveled the world several times, sharing the stage with many of the greatest blues legends.

This appearance was practically in my backyard. I've been to this bar a few times, located on Hope street, real close to the beach.

I missed this show basically because I didn't know who Joanna Connor was at the time and I never knew the bar's stage schedule.

I wonder if this has got to be the first torrent from Niantic, CT. I find it almost comical. But very cool that someone with good recording gear actually captured this show.

I know I didn't get it straight from the taper. I got this years ago on cd from a guy named Jay Hudak in Florida.

I'd really like to know who the taper was for this show. Someone locally, I can think of a few names......

I actually listened to this entire live recording and I never do that !!! Which should tell you that the quality is pretty good and I liked it.

I wasn't able to figure out the set list. any help would be appreciated.
