Other than getting to live through umpteen 100-plus degree days each summer and a massive hurricane every now and again, one of the supreme privileges of being a Houstonian is easy access to blues giants like Earl Gilliam and I.J. Gosey. Between them, these two guys know more licks than most musicians will ever play, and they do it as though they were working in a convenient store or an assembly line rather than jumping up and down and hollering "Hey, over here, look at me!"
