A blues guitarist and harmonica player named Louisiana Red has just died at a ripe old age. He played on 500 albums and performed with all the greats.

He spent his childhood in an orphanage because his mother died a week after he was born and then his dad was lynched by the KKK.

Now THAT is a story of a hard life and grim determination to suceed against the odds.

Regards
Terry

That's a shame, Terry. I only have a couple of albums of his stuff but still...
He definitely had a lot to fight against in his life.
