I've never heard the man, but dearly respect his life and accomplishments! I know several great local "harp" players... I've never gained any musical talent as of yet.

Mebbe I'll try the harmonica. What's nice is its portability. On Chris Stapelton's GREAT, recent recording "Traveler", the session guy they hired is very recognizable, but overbearing on 2-3 tracks. Drives me nuts, knowing what COULD have been. Kinda like watching movies and wanting to re-do the screenplay.

Weird things bug me. But, I live for good music.

Nice link squids... listening to a video of him.. oops it's done.
Awesome harmonicist(?)

I'm sure I've heard him before since that article says he played with Howling' Wolf. Muddy Waters, Janis, The Dead and Zeppelin.....

It's a real bummer tho finding great artists when they've passed...

I saw James and his band open for Johnny Winter in Greenville, SC about 1975. He and Johnny played together many times after that during Muddy Water's comeback a few years later. RIP James.
