Aus bestimmten Gründen beschäftige ich mich im Moment ausgiebig mit dem Blues. Als Erinnerung an meine Studien habe ich dieses Tagebuch (diesen Blog) angelegt. So kann ich meine Suchergebnisse gut abspeichern und Euch daran teilhaben lassen. Für einen Täglichen Bluestip reicht die Zeit leider nicht mehr. Deshalb wird es diese Beiträge in Zukunft unregelmässig geben. Ich tue mein Bestes.
Mojo's
musical career began at age five with his Grandmother teaching him
songs on her old Stella guitar. His skills were honed at family jams
and lessons given by his father, "Wild Bill" Collins. Later, he joined
the Air Force and was staioned in Montana. Here he wrote much of the
material which he would later take to San Francisco with the band
"Initial Shock". In San Francisco, Mojo and "Initial Shock" made their
way to stage at the legendary Fillmore West and finally to a contract
with the king of all rock promoters, Bill Graham.
"Sawbuck",
the self-titled debut album from Mojo's collaboration with musicians
Chuck Ruff, Steve Hatley, Star Donaldson, and Ronnie Montrose, received
national attention. In 1971 Mojo relocated from San Francisco to
Eastern North Carolina, married, and started a family which now includes
2 sons, their wives, and 6 fine grandchildren!
HIs
original music is presented in concert as well as in schools K4 to
university, church music education programs, "The Lost Colony, Devon to
Dare", "Make a Preservation", "Flight of Magic", and "History of Folk
and Blues". In 2007 Mojo released "Mojo Collins Live". Mojo is
currently creating new original works for "Opening Act", a rock and
blues multi-media touring concert. Enjoy your experience with Mojo
online and let the music take along its journey from the 60's music
scene of Haight Ashbury, to the legendary Fillmore Records / Fillmore
West and all the way back home to the remote beauty of coastal
Carolina. Thanks for visiting!
