bonzoboy Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Nobody could tickle the ivories like Pinetop,his inimitable piano work is on some of the most famous blues recordings of all times.He recorded with the best of Mississippi,Memphis,Chicago etc bluesmen of all time.Now he can jam for eternity with all his buddies that went on before him.The Pearly Gates will be swinging off their hinges tonight for sure.

Californiaman Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I'm going to miss ya' ol' man. I know I'll see ya' again on the other side. In the mean time, I've got Kenny Wayne Shepherd's 10 Days Out to remind me of your greatness. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sePUYlioh1U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Natural Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 That's too bad. I saw Pinetop live in Helena, Arkansas back in circa 1990 and just last week on Austin City Limits. He was a good'un. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
