RE: Open Mic Week 25: I'll Never Get Out of These Blues Alive
Saw and met Hooker 2 weeks before he died. He was so old he could barely get on and off the stage but man he could still play.

One thing is for sure....he never got out of the blues alive haha! By far my favorite blues performer. Not my favorite guitarist, but the blues is about the whole package. With a foot and guitar he could always be a one man band...He summed up the BLUES!
Yes, he did. By the time I saw him play he could only play that 2-note hammer-on and pull-off lick he always did in the key of E, but I could listen to him play that all night long and be happy. Soul pouring out of him as it did you in this performance. Nice one.
THANK YOU! Some people exercise to pour out emotion...I prefer to play the blues haha.
