@NoRosesForMe Excellent comments. All very true. Thanks for expressing yourself so well.

Big Bill. All of the modern 'greats' Clapton, Keith Richards and so on were all hooked on him and stylised their own particular way of playing by following his method.

Great song!

This is a truly quintessential Blues arraignment. Only 311 veiws? That is CRAZY.

This cat is one of the most soulful recording artist these ears have ever heard. He has a tune entitled "Horny Frog From Texas" that is to die for (hint, hint).
