Introduced by Sonny Boy Williamson who I had the pleasure to meet and talk to when he was in the UK about the time this recording was made I should think. Got to be worth a few brownie points.
I envy you, I wish I couldve held a conversation with the greatest man to ever hold a rhythm to the modern-day blues as Willie. I was fortunate enough to see B.B. king before he past away and I can't stress enough how important these gentlemen are to every aspect of modern music. Weither they understand it or not!
Goddamn- that must've been one helluva a night. Howlin Wolf performed one mind blowing rendition of Smokestack Lightining that night- look it up. 💥🔥🔥🔥🎙️🐺
Privileged to have been at the 1964 Free Trade Hall Concert in Manchester. Sad that John Lee Hooker wasn't on the Bill that night but hen sadder to miss hi turning up shortly afterwards somewhere like Oldham. Lighting Hopkins was superb with his opposite two toned dress suit as seen in the intro. here. at one time he was playing two, if not three harps at the same time. A never to be forgotten experience almost matched by meeting and talking to Jimmy Witherspoon at his session at the Manchester Sports Guild in an incredibly smoke filled room.
