This is another picture I have made recently of one of my blue heroes, Aaron Thibeaux "T-Bone" Walker (May 28, 1910 – March 16, 1975). T-Bone was an American blues guitarist, singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, who pioneered the electric guitar as great innovator of jump blues sound. I've heard all sort of stories about T-Bone including him starting off as a dancer, a banjo player and being close friends and essentially Blind Lemon Jefferson's protégé. He was one of the first blues guitar players I listened to, mainly because his song, Stormy Monday is such a popular piece of music covered by everyone including Eva Cassidy and to likes of hard rocker's such as The Allman Brothers. T-Bone accomplished many incredible things and was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 1980 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. Chuck Berry named Walker as one of his main influences, B.B. King quoted for saying"Stormy Monday" as his inspiration for getting an electric guitar. Walker was also admired by rock innovator Jimi Hendrix, who imitated Walker's trick of playing the guitar with his teeth!

Hope you like the picture. Stay safe ... See MoreSee Less
