Also, my daughter went to school with his grandson Greg. They did a science project together, and one day she called me up to tell me she was at Buddy Guy's mansion. I wanted to give her a CD of mine to give to him, but I didn't think my kind of music was his cuppa tea, so I just left all of that alone. They did an excellent job on the project though from what I can recall.

Hold it! Working on a science project with Buddy Guy's grandson in Buddy's mansion? That's pretty amazing. Can I have your daughter's autograph now?

Also, I really like John Hammond Jr. My first exposure to him was when he narrated an excellent '91 documentary titled The Search For Robert Johnson. Well worth watching, imo, if anyone is interested.

I'm trying to get one myself. She's a busy person. lol Buddy lives right down the road from us. Dennis DeYoung from Styx is a bit south of us too.

I'll be checking that doc out though. Thanks for the heads up!

I guess I picked the wrong week to quit documentaries.

You're welcome! The documentary is a bit hard to find these days. Here's a link if you'd like to view it online: https://archive.org/details/THESEARCHFORROBERTJOHNSON

Enjoy!

This one isn't bad, either.

I only checked out Ando's, since I couldn't get the other to play on my large flat screen... pretty sure that the Archive website isn't set up with the proper video codec or something along those lines, but the one I did watch was enlightening. I'll check the other one out when I get time. I appreciate the rec's.

No problem - hope you enjoy watching if/when the technology works out.

I gradually fast-forwarded through segments of the doc last night, and was reminded that "Queen" Elizabeth (one of Johnson's featured ex-girlfriends) disturbs me a bit with her talk of shooting Johnson!

I was also pleasantly reminded of Johnny Shines's dignified presence and insightful commentary.
