In April of 1978 I met Lloyd “Abe” Abraham in Minneapolis where he was living with his wife Lisa and young son Jesse. I was looking for musicians to put together a working version of the Billy Buffalo Band, and he was the first one I found. Abe was from Oklahoma and played guitar, dobro, and harmonica. He also had an amazing voice for blues and boogie stuff, and could sing great harmony on any of my country & bluegrass material. We started practicing in my garage, and managed to land a few band gigs. ( See A Penny For Adeline Substack ). As time went by we decided that our duo format was more manageable than a four or five piece band, and started calling ourselves The Hillbilly Soul Brothers. We played a variety of original old time mountain music and Afro American blues music we loved.
