Johnny Slim Campbell performs the Crossroads Blues in the late 80's on a 1934 National Steel guitar. Great slide work by one of the best bluesmen I ever met.

I knew John when he started out at the Crossroads in NYC...I just 'Knew' he would be famous...when I told him that..he just humbly 'aw shucked' me off in that sweet way he had. :) He was amazing then and became more awesome over time.I saw him backstage at a concert in NYC b4 he was to go on tour in Europe..not knowing I wld never see him again. He was scheduled to open for BB King upon his return...and all I remember was walking home thru the park crying.I will never forget u, JC..:)

I went there All the time (and everywhere else he played in NYC) and knew him personally as well.he was such a sweetie..:) 'Followed' him all the way till his death...if you want to see my pic or send me yr email addy we can 'tawk'..I'm not in NYC now..I still miss him.. xo Rachelle
Well I liked the place itself as well I'd go there or the Kettle of Fish a lot and hang with Paul Butterfield who I knew a long time, that's when I met John there even played some harp with him on guitar just goofin around as I always had a harp with me or even 2...But also I was after that cut little blond bartender from New Zealand that worked there to be honest..LOL..!
