Deakster, we need pictures of this Blues Mobile. And the event too.
Pinetops birthday! Will this be number 91? What a great event to be a part of. I will forever retain the story he told of being cut up on his DVD. I forget exactly how he put it but it was something like "before I got hurt I could make that bass roll like thunder on that piano".

Pinetop turned 97 in July.
Sounds like a great set-up Deak. Better have it well stocked for Hill Country next year.

I wish I had known earlier that you were parked next to me at the Bean Blossom. I would've liked to get some lessons. I had lots of beer to pay with.
