Considering Blind Lemon Jefferson, for one, was recording 100 years ago I'd say the original black blues masters are already long gone. But there are always some new ones that get it right. I remember when Keb Mo' and Corey Harris were the new kids on the scene (hell, actually I remember when Taj Mahal was just starting to record). Now we have Chris Thomas King and Gary Clark, Jr., to name a couple. It's a style that will always attract kids with talent and passion so I wouldn't worry about the blues fading into oblivion.
Hope for the blues..
Every now and then, someone posts a child "shredder" or classical prodigy, and a couple really do entertain and amaze.
This British(fittingly?)10 year old has every electric bluesman infused in his playing. Imo, he's on the same level as a super advanced Classical piano or violin prodigy.
Perhaps the players here, may know of this unique musician.

If you were just listening to his playing, you might assume it's some seasoned hotshot! The kid performs like someone who's been on the road for decades!
Its like DNA from B.B,every British god,Winter,SRV were all blended and this fortunate individual
had the winning ticket. I see a bright future here.
Good to see the blues torch being passed. I don't watch any of those "talent" shows, but I'm guessing this level is rare.
