Le Chubby

Mr. Horowitz, aka Popa Chubby, is the son of a Bronx candy store owning couple who loved jazz and r & b. He's a deep and long-time fan of Freddy King, a king of blues and r & b guitar instrumentals. Like Mr. King, Mr. Horowitz is neither slight of build nor blessed with a distinguished or memorable blues voice. However, he has a set of chops and he has a joy of playing that is immediate.

Some bio info (from his label, Blind Pig Records), including how Mr. Horowitz became Popa Chubby is here.

Bleak Mouse: While I agree with you that subtlety trumps "Elektrik Blooze" on most days, I slip occassionally and like wallowing in the simple chords. I believe the correct pronunciation is Mister Pop-ahhhhh. With his size, I believe the "Mister" is absolutely necessary.
Stephenesque: I swear it's not me! I have a bit more hair and a whole lot less talent. And I won't take the easy way out and blame my appearance on Croatia; one's physique usually reflects one's sins correctly.

WP: I was trying to come up with a clever riposte (Wry Toast, as pronounced by my daughter) by delving into The Devil's Dictionary. Would you believe that ol' Ambrose doesn't hav a definition for "Sin". So, I'll just add that the cd is worth putting on the A(mazon) list.
Pattie:Jim Morrison was way too much of a ladies' man for me. Less of the ladies and less og the good looks, and he'd be playing Vegas today to all of the other senior weekend visitors.
