Tell your guitar tutor that Booba made his band play 4-5 hr sets@ his Playboy Club in Greenville, Ms. I've seen the sun rise many mornings there and the band not having a break since they started.No band member ever complained.Booba would't hear it.So stay up all night, playing 4-5 hr sets or more and fire your guitar coach

Amazed this guy wasn't much more famous - he deserved to be. Featured in the blues documentary "Deep Blues" (1991). Check him out singing "Heartbroken Man"

I love this.  My family knew him. I knew growing up. He had a bar on Nelson Street in the same block as my father's barber shop......I miss it. I imagine that Nelson was Greenville's Harlem with all the activity and music.
