My favoutite blues artist by long. Top singer, top guitar player, top composer, top performer and top charism. The result is overwhelming for my soul. Since I discovered him when I was 14 (and Im 46), he's the blues light in this obscure world...

Long gone my ass, I was blessed to be a promoter for the Seattle Folklore Society, I play these blues every day and I work towards steady learning and the discipline required to learn this challenging music, and more important to play and sing them with enough true feeling to reach the jaded, it's your job to get people to tap their feet and dance, that's it so keep it simple and roll that groove out and pick up these numbers and write the lyrics down and strum if you can't pick, find the groove, talk the verses or moan the verses to ride the groove, take your time. John Lee was a pro and he has an arrangement for every number he did, he was disciplined, and singing helped him overcome a painful stutter.

@@thatpickingguy I was the concert promoter for the Seattle Folklore Society in the early 70's, and am so blessed to have met and played with so many of the American blues greats. There were a lot of fabulous musicians in that group, we had amazing all night jam sessions with dozens of musicians and music lovers. These vids. were recorded by ethnomusicologists at the UW in Seattle. John Lee was a humble man and a gentleman.
