I particularly enjoyed listening to and watching this clip. I met Jim Page, and played on that stage. It's funny to see all these negative comments. Folks, the name of the song is "Lighting Hopkins" and it's the singer's personal tribute to the great bluesman, and no one can say he or anybody else is not entitled to write a song about one's heroes. And about a nice thing about folk songs is that they are about people expressing themselves, and saying what they are feeling and thinking.

No harm, Lightnin was a fantastic blues musician, but this guy sounds more like folk or country to my ears. Its not blues. Forgive me if that sounds too "purist" for some of you, but I know what I like, and its the blues, not some dude singin a folk song about a blues musician-- all a bit strange!

@lilshnappinturtle "6 months ain't no sentence, one year . . . ain't no great long time."
"6 months ain't no sentence, one year . . . ain't no great long time."
"I had a dear old daddy . . . died doin' one to ninety-nine."
That's the best blues line goin'.

@lilshnappinturtle The best line is in "Early Mornin' Blues," and it goes . . .
"6 months ain't no sentence, one year . . . ain't no great long time."
"6 months ain't no sentence, one year . . . ain't no great long time."
"I had a dear old daddy . . . died doin' one to ninety-nine."
That's the best blues line goin'.
