I saw him locally in a small blues bar about 15-20 years ago, sounded very good, band was very professional.

    Rip. Hard to believe he was 88. Seems like Blues Brothers just came out 10 years ago or so.

    "The other day", from my perspective :)

    I realize that his legacy (that whole, wonderful band's) extends far, far beyond the Blues Brothers... nevertheless, if you get a chance, spin their cover of B Movie Boxcar Blues. Loud.
