the videos though ..even though particuarly this one wasn't necessarily from his prime time in life in general..... but seeing him play...I mean his style of play really required a level of physical dexterity..... Dude was like a one man band by himself.... that fingering with the left hand he's doing sounds like a group of violins in an orchestra playing real soft in the background .... with the left hand he's like setting up anticipation for the next line in the song narrative....

a lot going on for just one man sitting there with guitar...I mean you hear that(and see it witht he artists where video is available) but I'm not sure if any of the Blues artists have complete package and prolific playing like he does.... Arguably 2 of the guys who came closest, Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson....Son House fathered their style....lol
