Ten-Year-Old Plays Blues Classic....Sweet Home Chicago!!!

Conrad Oberg, self-taught visually impaired piano and guitar player performs the Robert Johnson classic "Sweet Home Chicago." Conrad has had several YouTube requests for this song, so we decided to post this version that was filmed in the Spring of 2005 when he was only Ten Years Old! Performance was captured in Clarksdale, Mississippi at the world-famous "Ground Zero Blues Club" owned by Morgan Freeman. We hope that you like it...PLEASE subscribe if you do, and check out Conrad's other videos!

At age two, Conrad taught himself to play the piano, and again taught himself the guitar at age ten.

Anthony is a great bass player from Clarksdale, MS. When he was about 15 yrs. old, he was featured in the movie "Last of the Mississippi Jukes." Great movie, great club, great town.
