This takes me home ... I grew up next door to him in Oakland on 71St and est 14th. Behind Rev Mac's Church. He was one of my Daddy's best friend's. I used to play with His son's JayJay and Pee Wee. Him and Miss Betty used to invite us over all the time. He also Played with John Lee Hooker.. I was a little girl.... And I remember him singing to me..... Thank you so much for posting this.... It was a long shot but here he is..... I miss Him and Daddy... Rest in Peace.
