@shane71880 - It's like they say, "It ain't the fiddle, it's the fiddler."

[lamiamano]

[snakeshoe1]

greatest!

[snicky58]

So cool, thank you for uploading. I just discovered Snooks a few days ago. Glad to see some of his stuff is here on YT. I hear that he was a major influence on Dr. John. I wonder if Johnny Winter is a fan of Snooks too??

[tehuti]

Two of my favorite musicians - Sooks and George Porter Jr. PLUS the great piano man Jon Cleary!

[BlackLordByron]

HELLLLLL YES!!!!!

[Saturnwreck]

This video is a lot earlier than 2007. Wonder when it was?

And I think that is Kenneth Blevins on drums.

[ceepatton]

[001mcampbell]

Snooks : )

[GeraldP1983]

On point!

[yoyoplod]

[shane71880]

[peterguit]

@shane71880 It's all in the fingers... All those custom shop fenders don't make you play better.

[olhuzzy]

Rest in Peace, Snooks. We miss you...

[toddallenhooper]

Very unorthodox style and very cool!!!!

[sjb022]

Awesome tune...perfect for me to get my beans in the pot!

[mangozumo]

[rude1967]

Snooks was a genius--his music should be played in every school!

[nawlins6329]

He'll certainly be missed this year at New Orleans Jazz Fest. I always looked for Snooks in the lineup.

[taildragger51]

The Blues World is a sadder place since February 2009.

 Snooks was a legend that can't be replaced.

[TropicSensation]

I hate to hear about gems like him seaux late in the game :o(

Well, at least I did find him, and it's great to see his music live on

The Sensational Mr. Grits

[swingincountrymutha]

I was brought to the rock-n- bowl by some friends and saw this guy and I never stopped loving his music since. He sings and plays with such feeling it always satisfies. Sad to hear today he passed. condolences to his friends and relations. He should be recognised as a NO hall of famer. B

[tehuti]

I just saw Jon Cleary (the pianist in this video) at a show tonight and he mentioned that Snooks had passed recently. So sad. Although I never actually "saw" him live I got to hear him play at Rock and Bowl back in 2005. It was so crowded I never saw Snooks, but at least I can say i was there!

[rejoycemoss]

I just love this guy.I just heard that he passed a few days ago.I got to heard him many times.He will be missed.

Rejoyce

What a party they are having in Heaven right now!

[papo4me]

[jackdelawack]

[MightyWiggus]

Snooks was my #1 reason to get to New Orleans someday. So sad I missed him. My condolences to those of you who knew him.

[Groovecat68]

Damn!!

Snooks, you were one baaaaaad dude. Fantastic playin!

Yes Sir - Rest in Peace...

[sophiajunie]

[stan2211stan]

Luther is one of Snooks' biggest Fans. Ya need great Luther? Listen to "Get Out On The Floor" on "Doin' The Sugar Too";

Snooks influenced scores of "household names". He was THAT GREAT.

[lordkoos]
