Sitting in my living room, enjoying a glass of wine on a Saturday afternoon, listening to my husband play harp along to this song.....good times. All the misery we experience in working class America, barely making it from paycheck to paycheck, all of it is totally worth it. Just for moments like this.

@Dolz12 What i just said is that the harmonica itself is a living vocal

damn sonny boy is the best harmonica player ever straight blues legend and you can feel his soul when he plays and sings like he means every word he says just absolutely amazing what a wonderful artist he is. damn i play harmonica and it's gonna take me several years to figure out how to play with emotion and get that sonny boy tone but ill get it down all i listen to is blues and study it's roots so yeah ill be touring one day hopefully..

@oreokookie1000 -- he was born in 1908, so he'd have been in his mid 50s when he recorded this
