Met him 7 years ago or so. He headlined the Blues Festival at the Horse park here in Lexington, with the Neville Brothers and Johnny Lang.

My company provided the staging and miscellaneous equipment (including tube Fender amps, a "B" and a 147RV Leslie), and I was there for 8 hours or so. He and I had coffee, which I had in the supply truck.

He was tired. Unfortunately, I was working that night and didn't hear him.

A giant in the music field. I had read his autobiography several years before. Think I'll revisit that.

Chas, if you want to borrow that book, I'll ship it to you.
