Amazing musician. Here he is with another national treasure, Mr B.B. King.

8. Sweet!

I saw BB at a small supper club in Redondo Beach, early 90's. About 2 ft away from the stage. He'll always be my "king of the blues".

9. great choices Snowball---here's two great underrated ( by some) artists, Son Seals and J.B. Hutto

I've been fortunate to have seen literally dozens of blues artists in person over the years. Many of them multiple times ( must've seen Junior Wells and J.B. Hutto about 15 times apiece) One of the most underrated was Son Seals. Hutto was another.

10. Here's Magic Sam from a record - "Sam's Boogie". Eric Clapton said

"Buddy Guy's the best!" Buddy Guy said," Magic Sam's the best!" Meet Magic Sam:

12. And that's because

Everybody's got The Blues, just had 'em, or are about to get 'em again. (Buddy King at KAAY in 1983)

:smoke:

13. Oh, yeah....Slim Harpo..."Scratch My Back". One great musician.

Slim Harpo played guitar and harmonica, sang his songs and sometimes did it all at once using a tamobrine played with his foot when he played as a one man band.

Try this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtvL5_6BFd8&NR=1&feature=fvwp

He also did a few songs made famous by the Rolling Stones, "King Bee" and "Shake your Hips", here:

King Bee: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26VCVItGMIo&NR=1

Shake Your Hips: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2J9hz2Kw8kA&feature=related


Enjoy.

Added: I played in a band that once opened for B.B. King...I'm certain he doesn't remember me, though.
