Pinetop Perkins 1913-2011

From Muddy Waters and Sonny Boy Williamson to John Lee Hooker and B.B. King, Pinetop Perkins who's career spanned over 80+ years has become one of the greatest blues piano players playing with these and many other blues artists. He became the oldest person to receive a Grammy award winning Best Traditional Blues Album along side Willie Big eyes Smith.  I was able to see him last summer. I remember being close to the stage and making eye contact with him. I also got his autograph as well which was really amazing being close to one of the greatest blues performers of all time. He was 97 years old.
