R.I.P Hubert Sumlin

[drockadam]

Hello TRF Members,

We lost another legend of the blues. Any fan of the blues knows Hubert Sumlin. He passed away today at the age of 80. He came to our local Blues Festival in 2010, and I was backstage with him. He and I had a short but memorable conversation. When I went up to him, right away he said, your a blues guitar player right? I said yes! I said "How can you tell?" He said looking at your hands, I can tell! He said to me, "Don't ever stop playing the blues". I will never forget that. R.I.P Hubert Sumlin!
