@ Xpun Me too... Everytime I watch a SBW video, I pick up at least 1 (if not 10) things to start learning from.
Give me about 10 years then LOOK OUT!

It doesn't matter which artists I come across, Sonny Boy 2 is the one that I always come back to. The tone, the delivery, the perfect-yet-simple licks - and then you watch a video like that and realise what a showman he was in the flesh.

I even love the legend that he got the name Sonny Boy Williamson by pretending to be SB1 for a radio show he hosted. It's actually inspired me too; I think I might start calling myself the original Jamie Cullum and make a career out of not being a smug git :)
