Attila Weinberger

I got an email msg from Attila Weinberger, a Romanian blues musician who was wondering if we're related. I told him my father had Hungarian blood, and Attila's hometown turns out to have been in Hungary for a while. So, there's a pretty good chance we're cousins to some degree.

In any case, I promise you that this is the best Transylvanian blues you've ever heard. He's a damn fine musician who was playing the blues even when the Communists didn't want him to. You can hear some tracks here, or click on AG's Blues Radio at the upper left of his site. [Tags: attila_weinberger music blues romania]

Attila the Weinberger has a nice ring to it.

What an image: Attila Weinberger facing down the neo-Roman army of Theodosius Bush, on the outskirts of Constantinoplington.

Would make a great comic book... err... graphic novel.
