John Mayall with Peter Green: "So Many Roads"
div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Two questions at once: how did these guys from England get so steeped in the blues? How in the world can anyone overlook Peter Green on guitar for his tone and touch?

Howlin' Wolf eats your soul in concert
Although Hubert Sumlin (guitar) described his relationship with Howlin’ Wolf as that of a father and son, the two were known for having some knock-down, drag-out fights. One, in particular, took place after a gig, when Sumlin had wandered off with a cute girl that had been giving him the eye all evening. When he returned, Wolf was furious at having to load Sumlin’s gear and began cursing him out in front of the band. Embarrassed, Sumlin waited for Wolf, who was much bigger than he, to turn away, then he sucker punched him. Wolf slowly turned and back-handed Sumlin with enough force to send him sprawling down the loading ramp, spitting out teeth.
The next morning, Sumlin’s wife woke him and said Wolf had been sitting in his car, out front, all night. When Sumlin went outside, Wolf apologized, and gave him enough money to fix his dental work. When Wolf died in 1976, his funeral program listed Sumlin as his son.
