I missed a chance to see him play in Boston shortly before he died. I know he wasn't playing his best, but I still would have paid good money anyway. I never did get to see him play. :(

This is of course assuming I have id'd the pic correctly as Horowitz. Please slap me in the head if it is not.

22. Great choice. I want his version of "Goodnight Irene" played at my funeral

Strange dude, though. When I lived in Nawlins, I heard some weird stories about Booker.

[GumboYaYa]

29. But nobody played piano like Booker,

He had an interesting life; I've always thought it would make a good screen play.
