Michael, anyone with a small knowledge of blues should have heard Lightnin’. My first experience was in 1962 or 1963 in a listening booth in Beatties basement in Wolverhampton. I’d picked out an LP of early recordings and was just blown away. So day I also heard Big Joe Williams for the first time. I was fortunate enough to see Lightnin’ at an ABFB concert. The place to go to hear him at his best is his Gold Star and Alladin recordings from the 40’s and early 50’s. Clearly the tune taken from Leroy Carr’s In The Evening. Phil, People of a certain age all know about Lightnin' Hopkins and while younger blues fans have all heard of him, very few know his work. He kind of slipped through the net of being one of the giants that can be repackaged every other week and sold again. I always send people to watch the Les Blank film, The Blues According to Lightnin' Hopkins, which is one of the great blues films. Shine On Michael

This is a friend of mine that has several albums out and just about to release another. In non-covid times he tours all over the states and overseas. Cary is a very gifted guitar player and as nice of a person as you'll meet. I'm going to try and talk him into playing my 1930 Triolian on his next album...even if it gets a small small part. Check out his music.
