Probably the last link to Robert Johnson, whom he played with in their youth in stores and cinema foyers and out in the country at night by the light of lanterns hung on trees has passed on to Blues Heaven aged a grand old 96.

Another departs
One of the last
Reminding us again
Once more
Of their wonderful gift
To humankind -
As far as I can work out this was recorded during DHE's last performance before he took no well - hope I look as sound as that when I get to 95.

Wonderful Mr DHE ..
I hope this is a suitable place to insert a couple of toobs which I received in the mail yesterday from another PS, he of The Fujii ( remember them - 'We Pray The Brooze' ?)

Any idea where that second piece came from - I assume that's Russian script*- strangely it was reminding me of this old fave - not sure I've seen the guitar played quite like that before.Originally posted by Paul Sherratt View Post

John,
I've scanned the comments to the second film but there didn't appear to be any clues to that
fantastic-sounding guitarist's location. The author didn't offer any suggestions at all.
Perhaps I should send it to Dr Lucy for an examination !Comment
