Thanks man, I really enjoyed that. He's not someone I had heard before. That's the way it's always been, good blues men wondering the country that are unknown beyond their region. I bet you've got some good memories from that time.

I was fortunate that when I lived up North I had a great blues club close by. It was on the Boston to D.C. circuit so all the greats played there. I saw everyone from John Lee Hooker to the Nighthawks.

Lightnin was one of those I knew about for a long time but hadn't gotten around to listening to yet. I was going out with a woman who had this LP collection of pop and show tunes. I'm looking through them and I find this Lightnin Hopkins LP. She had no idea where it came from and gave it to me. I still have it today, along with a few more. Such a unique style that influenced some of the greats like Johnny Winter and Billy Gibbons. Texas style.
