 BIOGRAPHY 
        
Bill Homans, professionally known as "Watermelon Slim", is an American blues musician. He plays both guitar and harmonica. He is currently signed to NorthernBlues Music, based in Toronto, Ontario.

Homans has been performing since the 1970s and has been linked to several notable blues musicians, including John Lee Hooker, Robert Cray, Champion Jack Dupree, Bonnie Raitt, "Country" Joe McDonald, and Henry Vestine of Canned Heat.

The first recording project to feature Homans was Merry Airbrakes, an album recorded and released on a small label in 1973 after returning from a tour of duty in Vietnam. Homans had become, after his return home, involved with Vietnam Veterans Against the War, and the album had songs with lyrics reflecting drug use, spiritual exploration, and involvement with the emotional cost of fighting "enemies." The album, originals of which are now highly collectible, has been re-released.

His more recent music is rooted in the Mississippi Delta style, as he plays his dobro guitar lap-style, lefthanded and backwards, with a slide. While for decades typically an acoustic performer, with The Workers he has concentrated more on playing electric.....

Merci pour l'ajout mais ça a failli être le dernier et donc l'arrêt du Blog !! En effet mon PC avait rendu l'ame suite un problème de boot et un BSOD (Critical process died (??)) !! Après 48H de combat j'ai réussi à entrer en mode "sans échec" et procéder à une restauration in extremis ! Le système consistant à mettre les fichiers en backup sur MEGA est pratique mais extrêmement contraignant et dangereux dans le cas d'un crash comme ces jours-ci. Après CINQ retour à 0, je ne survivrai pas à une sixième réinitialisation de mes fichiers et liens ...
Bonne Journée
