He had a speech impediment called a "stammer". It's not a disease.

Harpist Billy Boy Arnold had just recently been receiving informal lessons from Sonny Boy when he was murdered....he had somehow summoned up the courage to knock on Sonny Boy's door (because he live a few houses down from him) and asked if he would teach him how to play

Thanks to whoever made this film. It's real nice that somebody made the effort to remind people of this great and important artist.
One little detail: I don't know why it should bug me, but I wish the narrator had pronounced Big Maceo's name correctly.

Unfortunately, I can't offer time or place for any of the photos. Sonny Boy's half brother died just a few years before I put this together, so I could get no first-hand family info, and I had access only to previously published photos. @pheelineerie
