One of those happenstance incidents in my life was going to the 2006 King Biscuit Blues Festival (renamed Arkansas Blues And Heritage Festival ) and having to be entertained by two of the blues elder statesman, Pinetop Perkins and Robert Lockwood, Jr. I had seen Pinetop many years earlier at Kingston Mines in Chicago but Robert Lockwood was an added bonus as Mr. Lockwood would pass away in November of 2006. The weariness in Mr. Lockwood’s eyes will always haunt me as a sign of a life time of the blues. And as far as I’m concerned I hear it in his music. Ever grateful that had a chance to see him perform.
