I was blessed beyond belief to see Honeyboy play just before he passed. He was playing the after show for a giant jazz fundraiser at the Apollo theatre (of all places) in Harlem called "A great night in Harlem". Even though the event's purpose was to raise money for aged jazz/blues musicians, only 8 or 9 people stayed behind to hear him.
