Post by VikingBlues »

The world is a bit less musical today. :tears:

Passed away last night, Aug. 29 at around 3 am. He was just short of 96 years old.

:tears: R.I.P Honeyboy!

We've now lost one of the last original Delta Blues musicians - he even played with Robert Johnson!
He also played on the 2004 Crossroads festival.
We have to keep the Blues alive!

Nearly 96? That's impressive. It's always sad to lose talent like that though no matter how old. He'll be jamming again with Robert somewhere tonight.
