Any Man With A Falstaff

Is My Kinda Man

Yeah Furry, Yeah !!!

[Bill Weiner]

My idol, blues guru was a guy named Mike Stewart, aka Backwards Sam Firk. At the age of 19 in 1962 I heard Mike play 'East St.Louis Blues' "I walked all the way to East St. Louis, didn't have but one thin dime. Rather than spend it for even my own use, you save it for that high brown skin of mine." He played it the same as you hear this song with that

little pull-off thing in E. So Mike got the playing of that song from Furry Lewis

[Ronn Crowder]

Furry was kind to everyone. He was quite a character. Had a wooden leg that he used for percussion sometimes. Everybody loved him. Keith Richard called him Mr. Lewis, appropriately. So did I until he told me to call him Furry. He was quite a gentle man.

[Ronn Crowder]

I knew Furry. he opened the show for the Stones in Memphis. He let me play harp with him one time at High Cotton. I was not very good but he was kind and let me play anyway. After a few songs, he turned to me and said, "gimme that harp, i want to show you sumpn" So I did and he played it like you never heard, handed it back and said "that's how it's done"

30 years later I met John Mayall and asked him to sign the same harp. He started asking about Furry. I still have the harp.

[Glaeken1961]

He also belts the myth that a bluesman had a down axe..Gibson for Mr Lewis. God gives the best workman the tools to shine...

[Mike Nelson]

Money would of ruined the Music.
