Another blues great passes...

Sd, bad, bad news but thanks for posting nonetheless.

John was my absolute favorite among many, many blues favorites. In fact, this week he has dominated my choices in music -- I think I've spinned him every day. Today I listened to "Boom Boom", "Mr. Lucky" and "Hooker and Heat" (with Canned Heat). Fell asleep last night to the Rykodisc compilation "The Ultimate Collection".

Rest assured, he will boogie woogie with the angels.

Maybe we should all partake in "whisky and women" as a tribute. As if we don't anyway.

Very sad to hear, but thanks for the notice Sd. John Lee Hooker was certainly one of the all time great Bluesmen. I'll spin his music until I die. Craig

Heard the news on the radio this morning. I had no idea he was in his 80's already!

"Sad, sad day..." to paraphrase M.Water. At home we always referred to J-L as "granddad" ("let's spin some granddad and boogie...").
