his was one of my all time favorite voices. we had the pleasure of meeting him after a performance in NYC. we found him to be a lovely gracious and funny man, which was no surprise at all. it is a very sad day for the blues.

hmm how sad G the artical said who\'m he worked with but what did he do, Singer Songwriter, Guitar Player what?
Chris
all of that and then some. to give you perspective - the Stones once opened for him in London.
:\'( we had planned to try to catch his 2005 tour; we last saw him in NYC, must be at least 10 years ago.
a Few who\'m I missed seeing
John Lennon
George Harrison
Jerry Garcia
Jim Morrison
Eric Carr
Stevie Ray Vahnue

Yes YES some of these were before my time , I was around 5 months before Lennon was killed, Harrison died when I was twenty one ( I beleive ) , Jerry Died when I was fifteen er seventeen ( confilicting reports) Morrison was before my time , Eric died when I was Eleven, Stevie when I was nine er ten, I missed Entwhistle by 3 days.
I would have Loved to have Seen Hendrix....

well we\'d seen Baldry before - had just hoped for more... greedy thing that i am.
John Lennon - d1980 - only saw him once, not in concert but walking down the street. there was an energy about him i can\'t describe.
George Harrison - d2001 - never got to see him.
Jerry Garcia - d1995 - sweet man by all accounts and i love his music. they stayed in the hotel (the Chelsea) when we lived there. for a week crazy kids hung off our balcony, slept on our fire escape and tried to get into our flat - not to steal anything but just trying to be near the Dead.
Jim Morrison - d1971 - i was 10 and as progressive as my folks were, i didn\'t get to see the Doors play.
Eric Carr - d1991 - saw Kiss once when i was in high school - back in the day of the dinosauer... ;o)
Stevie Ray Vahnue - d1990 - saw him once, with Bowie - and he was sublime.
John Entwhistle - d2002 - saw The Who once, also high school - great band, great time.
