Real black pride!!!!!

"Don't have to play a whole lotta guitar to play the blues...Blues not supposed to be played fast. Blues supposed to be played slow." Less is definitely more. A lesson every picker needs to learn. Thanks Honeyboy. RIP.

[yetitracker]

[unclebobunclebob]

[todd012473]

I've seen Honeyboy over a dozen times. Just in Chicago in the past few years. He is amazing! If you ever get the chance, don't pass up the opportunity to check out the legend!

[LuluParis1]

Saw him a few years ago at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago and boy was he GREAT! Best show I've ever experienced. He was just electrifying. He's got the music in him!

[KingAlanI]

showing his roots for sure; he has an interesting point with keeping the blues simple, raw and powerful.

[reckonman]

[mudspud01]

honeyboy is a godfather of all music - Part of the greatest times for the Blues - grew up with robert johnson & many others he lived through it all its amazing hes still alive i wish i could ask him so many things ...

[poutinechaude]

[pict7]

Thank you!

[worksupermodel]

He's best on his own!!!!!

[cedricleecason]

WHAT A LESSON!! Let the blues settle and cook, its not as easy as one imagine. Muddy said that at one time.

[tomvandyke]

Oops...that's Lynn Orman Weiss on Facebook who is blues promoter for more info on Honeyboy

[curtisbissantz]

wasnt this guy on walk hard?

[tomvandyke]

Yep! Good catch. He was the dude on the porch. He turned 94 yesterday. Pretty sure he is on Facebook. Up for another Grammy (Lifetime achievement?) this year I think. Check out Lynn Weiss Orman on Facebook too. She is a blues promoter and works with him.

[JSLLH]

honeyboy shines like a bright star! thank you for this excellent footage of the master bluesman!

[pablodepinho]

Honeyboy is great! : )

[stglhor1zon]

I saw this guy at Leicester blues festival last year, he was ace. Went to see him on my own cos no one else could make it and emptied my bank account to do it but it was worth it cos it was a unique piece of music and history.

[thejukeboxninja]

Saw Honeyboy last year. Aged 93 and he was on stage for 90 minutes and hung around after to chat to us. A true legend.

[PeteyHop]

@thejukeboxninja

Yeah, he did that for us in NY too. A true gentleman, never mind legend. So humble, gracious and kind, I wish more of his Blues progeny were so humble and gracious

[LuluParis1]

I had the immense pleasure of hearing him at the Old Town School of Folk Music a few years ago (for free people!). OMG he blew me away - it was one of the best musical experiences of my life! He is amazing, beautiful, gorgeous, lovely, so talented and the music just flows from him.

[shoplifter2]

Can you imagine he hung out with Robert Johnson?! That's like being pals with Jesus and living to tell the story.

[holyswordsmanoffaith]

Thumbs up =) you made me laugh lol.

[Fawksian21]

Not only that, he was one of the last people to see him alive. Simply amazing.

[MrCaribbean]

[tchpandy]

Out of tune as fuck :-(

[averychilidog]

if this is all you can come away with - you must have a pretty small and sad life.....

[thejukeboxninja]

Get a life, you twat.

[rnmrozjr]

He is an incredible man. I have hung out with him on several occassions. He has alot of great stories and full of wisdom.

[JoyfulNoise1989]

I love those old bluesman noises at the beginning even though they are kind of gross! Honeyboy is the real thing though and I can't wait to see him in New Hampshire this weekend!

[sarber]

That's how ya do it, kids...

[spring41686]
