My girlfriend and I opened for Sonny & Brownie at the Ash Grove, in L.A. After their set we went backstage to meet them. Sonny looked at my girl and said, "My, my, you sure are pretty." She responded, "I thought you were blind." Sonny said, "I ain't that blind."

These guys were tops. They played together to create one seamless sound, even though they didn't talk to each other. Astonishing rhythm. I was lucky to get to see them play at least half dozen times. I remember Sonny Terry wore some shiny gold rings that dazzled in the bright stage lights as he blew - totally mesmerizing. ...Just give me a cool drink of water before I die...

I had the pleasure of speaking with Sonny and Brownie. Brownie said he and Sonny hate each other. When I listen to them I wonder how that can be true.

If you look, it seems to me that he holds his harp the opposite way that is “normal.” The high-register keys are to his left, not to his right. Maybe he’s left handed. Does not matter how ya hold it..just play it, right?!
