    One of the greatest pleasures of my life was seeing Howlin' Wolf perform....twice. The first time was at the Washington DC Blues Festival in 1968. I was 15 years old and had run away from home in NY to attend this incredible, star studded show show. The second time was after I hitchhiked two thousand miles, alone from San Francisco to the Ann Arbor Blues Festival in 1970, at age 17. I took amazing photos of him. Even at this very early age, I knew what my priorities were

    What I love most about Howlin Wolf is that despite all the horrors he lived in his life he never got bitter or turned away from self-criticism for things he might of said or did that he knew was not how God wanted him to live. One of the hardest points I read for me to read was when he made in the music business he went home and tried to help his mother out with some money. She took the money and threw it all over the floor and declared she did not need that devil's money. Man that had to be beyond soul crushing for him.
    Such a gift from God and his mother never heard it or understood it.

The blues is misery music. What could be more miserable than being a captive, chained like dogs, aboard a slave ship. They moaned and groaned out rhythmic songs on the 'white man's' cruise ship.

    Is it any wonder Wolf was good? Before he was 30, he learned guitar from Charlie Patton, Son House, and Willie Brown and harmonica from Sonny Boy Williamson II. He also played with Robert Johnson and pretty much everybody else who was playing and traveling through the Mississippi and Arkansas Delta in the 1930s. He was there at the birth of the blues, in other words. And in the late 1940s and early 1950s, he was present at the birth of electric blues and rock 'n' roll in West Memphis and Chicago.

    I was lucky to attend a Howlin' Wolf show in 1972 in a blues club on Stanley Street Montreal. I had just turned 18 and that was the drinking age back then and gave access to clubs. I was a Cream fan and heard all about some of the blues great. I remember his being a rather tall man - I still remember some loud teenagers making noise and he shut them up with one glance.

    I love the sound that he was able to tease out of that guitar.....Not the only old bluesman to be able to do it of course...But in listening to these old school bluesmen I'm always mystified by the color of the sound they were able to produce....It's no wonder so many later musicians desperately attempted to achieve something that was similar....In some instances it's quite good, but I can't think of an artist who really was/is able to carry that haunting original blues sound....
