Tim Schmidt is a longtime Colorado writer and photographer, and contributor to The Weekly Blues Blast. Some of his history was as the co-founder of Scene magazine and a weekly column for North Forty News/New Scene Weekly. Tim's YouTube channel is "Time Capsules by Tim Van Schmidt". His channel has a bunch of great blues interviews he did during the 1990s. This first one that I have in The Blast is with the incomparable KOKO TAYLOR. Koko's style encompassed Chicago blues, electric blues, rhythm and blues, and soul blues.  She was known as Willie Dixon's "Wang Dang Doodle Girl" as well as  "The Queen of the Blues",  and was known for her rough, powerful vocals. Koko left is in 2009 but here she is once again.
