Musician

Eli M Marcus

Born:

Canadian born ex-pat living in Israel. KNown in the music community as "Dr. Blues" because of my encyclopedic knowledge of the history and the artists of the Blues. I am a guitarist (primarily acoustic finger-style and slide), a singer, a Blues radio show host, and a festival and music event promoter and consultant, as well as the founder/chairman of the Israel Blues Society.

 ...It was just past midnight, in a dark and empty room in downtown Toronto,  Canadian Blues and Jazz artist Champagne Charlie  was teaching me some of my first Ragtime guitar licks. He was seated on a chair we had just picked up in the street, and I was sitting on my guitar case, lapping up the music...
I guess that's when I got really serious about the Blues.
....or maybe it was that Blind Blake LP that I found standing alone in a store-rack on Harvard Avenue in Boston when I was 15 years old - for the price of 59 cents!
