He kept touring into his 90's. Amazing! Let's hope the Stones don't follow his lead, however...lol.

He will be missed.

For me the end came when Howlin' Wolf passed away. I am stuck in the middle. I respect the Delta Blues,
but I can't abide the modern day "Chicago Blues" My favorite blues artists all cut their teeth in Chicago, but what
that sub-genre is today is dead to me. I'd always take it over rap or dubstep, haha, but I can't hear too much.

I know Elwood hates to hear it and Jake is rolling over in his grave to hear it, but that's how it is, haha.
I was pretty torn up when Son House passed some years back, but I never realized there was only one
true tie left alive. Sad.

Our organization had the honor and privalege of working with Honeyboy through our Blues education nonprofit that educates young audiences about Blues music www.blueshoeproject.org. We hosted events that were like VH-1 Storyteller featuring Honeyboy, but for K-12 school audiences. Children really appreciated his music and honored him as an American treasure. His stories were so amazing because he went back, almost to the beginning of the genre, talking about Robert Johnson and all his contemporaries and his life as a wondering Bluesman.

We also produced an album with him with recordings from our first education event that featured Honeyboy, Pinetop Perkins, Henry Townsend and Robert Lockwood, Jr. The album won a Grammy Award in 2008 for Best Traditional Blues Album - Last of the Great Mississippi Delta Bluesman - Live in Dallas. If you don't have it, you might consider picking up a copy. All the proceeds go toward our mission.

Thank you for remembering him and paying honor to him.

Major bummer.

I don't get enough blues in my diet. This just might spark me into picking up some more, or going out to see some more local blues.
