Alonzo "Lonnie" Johnson (February 8, 1899 June 16, 1970) was an AMERICAN blues and jazz singer/guitarist and songwriter who pioneered the role of jazz guitar and is recognized as the first to play single-string guitar solos.

I've only recently had the internet. Up untill a couple of months ago I lived too far away from civilization to have it. I've played and sang blues and gospel music my whole life and thought I was an expert. Boy was I wrong. Youtube is just wonderful. And most of the comments are insightful and knowledgable. I just wish more people were nicer with what they say. Oh well, take what you need and leave the rest right? Thank you people who take the time to post these gems. Just wonderful.

Blues is one of the father genres of many of the current music genres.

And unfortunately, with the times, it has fallen to the wayside.

Luckily, Big Band and Blues are starting to come back into the fore with mainstream games like Fallout using them in soundtracks, and shows like Supernatural using them in the shows.

I think that it's a great thing.

Fortunately, I grew up near the birthplace of delta blues, so I was introduced to Skip James and Robert Johnson at a young age.

Simply the best.

@michael64543 It's also neat to discuss music with people who love blues as much as i do. There's alot of negativity on youtube as well, and thats kinda disturbing. But i don't believe in censorship, I just scroll right passed and look for decent people like you.

@MrWaymore13 sometimes I think U Tube is to music what the Library of Alexandria was to ancient civilization. Yeah, it really is wonderful.

@gwenowen456 Wow, your right. If i hadn't read your coment i wouldn't have made the connection. Good call. :)

@fivethumbsfrank

Lonnie was Robert Johnson's idol, he even pretended they were related (they weren't).

@VonVag Only if the train goes high-balling (no pun intended) into a tunnel.

[TheTuliohummel]

one man, one guitar, a great song.
