Overview

The Life and Times of Blind Blind Boy Billy is a memoir with a songbook and a cookbook. Wharton filets the story of his life, smokes it, and sandwiches it between tunes and recipes. It's the backstory of a life of sharing food and music. It's also a story of the outlaw grower of fine cannabis, and his brush with the law. The tunes and the recipes follow the story, with the Sauce Boss mixing media like it was cornbread. Bill Wharton is the Sauce Boss, a slide guitarist and singer known for his gastronomic boogie-woogie, and his Liquid Summer Hot Sauce. He cooks up a pot of gumbo at his concerts and serves it free to his audience. More than a musical performance, the media is mixed into a community of sharing. Jimmy Buffett sings about the Sauce Boss in his tune I Will Play For Gumbo. Jonathan Demme used Wharton's slide guitar anthem Let the Big Dog Eat in his movie, Something Wild. For nearly 30 years The Sauce Boss has combined his music, his hot sauce, his gumbo, and his Southern hospitality all over the US, and into Canada, Europe, and Asia. Thousands of gigs. Over 1,000,000 miles on the highway. Countless flights. Tons of hot sauce. Way over 200,000 people served, and he's never charged a penny for the gumbo.

Thousands of gigs. Over 1,000,000 miles on the highway. Countless flights. Tons of hot sauce. Way over 200,000 people served, and I have never charged a penny for the gumbo. I have been rolling down the road on an extended vacation with some gigs along the way. A lot of laughter and a lot of tears spiced up these pages. I hope you dug it. But you know what? Y'all still don't know the half of it. sauceboss.com
