Here are a couple more great blues legends from the past. Bo
Diddley and Albert Collins. Collins was known to continue playing after the club he was performing at had closed by going outside and playing on the sidewalk. Bo
Diddley is probably a house hold name these days his real name is
Ellas Bates. His rumba style beat blues became a signature for him. The name Bo
Diddley is derived from a primitive string instrument know as a diddley bow. Collins passed away in 1992, Bo died last year. What you see Bo playing is a well crafted
facsimile of an old cigar box guitar.

Again, these are so wonderful... if not prints, how about notecards? I'd buy a set.
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting idea. You know, R. Crumb did a series of blues masters playing cards. His were of artists from the 20's and 30's, my sketches are more from the 60's and 80's. I might consider your idea. Thanks.
