LOL!! Robert Lockwood is my Grandpa. I have had some belly aching laughs while in the room with these two. Thanks!! Blueshoeproject for caring about these guys.
Wow!! He learned from Robert Johnson directly when he lived with his Grand Grand Ma. You are very a beautiful lady Antunesia! Greetings from Brazil, South America.
@All kinds of blues information They were a joy to be around. Grandpa was like the "straight man". He was respectful, direct and mostly fair. A bit harsh in his assessments. However, he held himself out a a Master. He was a Sessions Man at Chess Records. He was on the host of King Biscuit Time. His art was in service to his family. He did enjoy dropping stories from his journey. He seemed proud of himself but not in a way that was full on constant bragging. He'd shared stories about Louis Myers, Sunnyboy, Robert Johnson, Ruth Brown and the likes the same way you'd share a story about the people you worked with or grew up with. Honeyboy Edwards was a fan of mischief. He told "dirty" stories. He kept weed on him, "just to pass out to the girls". This, in his late 70's. He really liked to talk about and to women. A red head lovely woman walked by. He turned to me and confirmed without my asking, " I had a red head, her snatch hairs red too, you can go ask her, it's the truth". He once offered me the key to his hotel room and told me "come on in anytime you like, I'll be ready to see you all time of the night or day". To which my Grandfather began to inform him no way in hell would I be taking him up on that offer. Back and forth they went with me in the middle. Finally, Honeyboy convinced Grandpa I was old enough to make my own decision. They pulled in other folks to weigh in on the situation. Honeyboy wasn't playing so well in his old age. Grandpa could be a bit critical as, according to him, he had perfect timing and Honeyboy had none. Honeyboy would remind Grandpa, "the people here just as much for me as they is for you". Honeyboy was quite jovial and for the good times not a lot of worry about much else. However, he was someone I could sit next to and truly feel better. He went out of his way to give people a smile. He was very good natured and really lite up around women. He'd gently put his hand on my hand or rest iton my leg when I sat next to him. Always some sort of gentle touching. I never heard him fuss but instead retreat from disagreement. Grandpa on the other hand would walk out of important meetings if things were not seen his way. It was not a good thing. I honestly think it hurt his career that could have been. Yet, I know he was proud of the career that was. He was an Aries man. It would be hard to understand his whys sometime. But! If he walked out it was pretty much a done deal. I must mention Nick Amster and Gene Schwartz (Brother of Phenom Glenn Schwartz). Those two had some skill at getting Grandpa to come around. Grandpa didn't drink much if ever, smoked marijuana once and overall didn't trust loose women or bar owners. Keep in mind, he was being mentored by Robert Johnson who many believe was murdered behind a dispute over a woman by drugs put into a drink. All ofthose words when I could have simply said, They Were Awesome! Because, they were.
@@antunesiaharris32 Lockwood trusted Anton as a good friend and sincere blues fan. As you say, he distrusted bar owners. So, he had a NYC gig at a place with a cover charge, so he should get a piece of the gate. He obtained one of those little stainless steel clickers, a golf stroke counter. ANTON:
Dont matter how good u get, u can always learn from these guys like Honeyboy. He was such a master back in the day too. Funny as it is but when i saw him play on Walk Hard, that comedy movie, i was young an needed something to do and that movie made me wanna learn how to play. I swear. The movie Crossroads taught me how to play harmonica. Granted this was a few years befire youtube lol.
Saw him many times. Always enjoyed his shows. I know some people who used to transport him to his show. Also know the people who performed with him. Sometimes he would pull off some really impressive riffs. That looked like Robert Lockwood Jr in the background. I miss his performances.

He was performing on stage at his 95th birthday, One of The Greats.
