Conrad Oberg (11yrs.) and Pinetop Perkins (92yrs.) Blues!!

Conrad Oberg, self-taught visually impaired piano and guitar player playing piano with blues legend Pinetop Perkins before a show in 2005. Conrad was honored to be a guest performer at the show and opened the second set. This was filmed during sound check. Pinetop taught Conrad a song that was one of his most famous, "How Long" composed by Leroy Carr in the 1920s. Pinetop was Muddy Waters piano player for years. He is still touring, so if you get a chance, please go see him, he's amazing. Conrad has opened every one of his shows since playing this song , and we hope that you like it!
