   We should have a special respect for the old blues guys that carry the torch today. Some of these legends are still with us. Pinetop Perkins, James Cotton, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Bob Margolin, Willie Smith and many others are still touring. These guys are the real deal and deserve a great deal of respect. If you ever have an opportunity to catch them live, by all means. Go! Unfortunately, some of the legends have passed on and cannot be seen in person...can only be heard through their recordings they left behind. We recently lost another blues legend...Johnnie Johnson. Johnnie Johnson is recognized as the one of the world's greatest blues pianists and the founding father of Rock and Roll. In 1955, he teamed up with Chuck Berry and together they created a string of hits including "Johnnie Be Goode", "Roll Over Beethoven", "Wee Wee Hrs.", "Back in the USA", and "School Days". Johnnie Johnson and Chuck Berry performed and recorded together throughout the seventies. However, as Berry's popularity grew and he  began to travel internationally, Johnnie elected to stay home in St. Louis. Big Bill exclaims," I've personally felt the magic of Johnnie's piano playing. We jammed together on several occasions none of which I will ever forget. After the music, I was always eager to sit down and talk with Johnnie about memories he had of my father, Muddy."

  Where did Blues music originate? Most experts agree that Blues Music originated in the deep south. Slavery as brutal as it was is directly responsible for the birth of the blues. Indeed, Black folk could be heard singing in the fields as they worked. When they were not working in the fields they would get together, usually on a Friday or Saturday night, for music and fun. This tradition still exist to some  degree today. Pinetop Perkins exclaims to the crowd before he plays, "I am the blues."

 "My guitar is my torch, my soul carries the flame. Make no mistake, I'm a true Bluesman."
