RIP PP!
Another original is gone. 97 years - I'm sure he had some great stories to tell.

Re: RIP Pinetop Perkins
Have to admit I'd never heard of him until today :(
Although he sounds like my kind of guy:

Perkins outlived most of his peers even though he smoked from the age of 9, battled alcoholism into his 80s and ate at McDonald’s Corp.’s fast-food restaurants daily.

Never heard this dude before, sounds pretty cool. Always a bummer when talented people die. Kai Kaha.

He was one of the greats. I just missed seeing him a few years ago in Kentucky. A true legend.
I used to be tombstoneblues.

RIP Pinetop. I'm sure you are already playin' 88's behind Muddy again.

Re: RIP Pinetop Perkins
Not that it really matters at all but I am proud to say that Pinetop Perkins was born in my home town of Belzoni, Mississippi.... I just wish some of that blues magic could have rubbed off on me. There is a new museum there commemorating his life but it had not opened when I was visiting my Mom this past summer. I plan to go back through in April, I hope to get a chance to visit the museum then. RIP Pinetop.
