Sybil Gage's Stormy Monday Show |
was the first bluesman to use the electric guitar. He was mentored by Blind Lemon Jefferson
, posthumously inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 1980 and then the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.His music stands as some of the most enduring in the blues genre and it's easy to see why. The childhood hero of Jimmi Hendrix, Walker has the distinction of being the inspiration for BB King to get an electric guitar (which he did after hearing T-Bone's "Stormy Monday,") and one of the major musical influences for Chuck Berry. Listen in and enjoy.
