Great documentary . I never realised this guy was now dead . In the documentary they talk about him as a young guy who was keeping the blues alive . Shame he is dead.
Hill country bluesman from Lexington Mississippi. Played guitar and diddley bow, a type of one string instrument. He also made electric diddley bows. Died of AIDS in 1998. Recorded one album, as far as I know, titled "All Around Man". Can be seen in "Deep Blues", this documentary, as well as Alan Lomax's "The Land Where The Blues Began".
Great Playing Man Cheers From Canada.

Lonnie could expertly and exquisitely play so many styles of acoustic and electric blues. Such a natural talent!
