Sault Ste. Marie's Joel Poluck has compiled a 'tell-nothing' book in remembrance of Floyd Lee, a blues musician he first met in a tunnel beneath the streets of Manhattan before spending more than a decade recording and touring together
A Sault Ste. Marie musician has penned a book in remembrance of Floyd Lee, his friend and former bandmate, three years after the bluesman’s 2020 death.
Eventually, Poluck was able to track Lee down, where the then-68-year-old blues man was playing in a tunnel near Times Square. The band was even the subject of a documentary, Full Moon Lightnin’, that won awards as it toured the festival circuit and it made an appearance at the Sault’s Shadows of the Mind Film Festival in 2008.
He called it a tell-nothing book because it doesn’t use the standard narrative style expected in a tell-all bio of a musician’s life. “If you come down our music will be playing, we will have books to sign and I may have a few poster reprints. I will have a few artifacts from back in the day — a few things of Floyd’s to show,” said Poluck.Among other bands, he played with Jimmy Reid — opening for The Supremes and Little Stevie Wonder."He had a great singing voice. He had a great personality. As a blues man he had it all," said Poluck.
