[Harp-L] Sonny and Sonny Terry



I'm not sure why anyone would be confused about this but I'll go ahead anyhow. If anyone doubts that Sonny played with Sonny Terry I'll bear witness. I saw Sonny playing duets with Sonny Terry in what I guess was the late 70's. They opened for Muddy Waters in a long since burned down venue called Dooleys. One of the best shows I've ever seen in my life. Top 5 maybe the best show I've ever seen. Sonny and Sonny Terry were great, Muddy Waters was great but didn't play all that long and Pine Top Perkins was just on fire that night. After Muddy Waters left the stage Pine Top and the band came back out and played a solid 2 hours and they were just on fire. Bars closed at 1 am then and they stayed on the stage until 2 and they were literally forced to quit by the bar owners. The house lights had been up for 45 minutes and the band just kept playing. What blows my mind is that Sonny when I mentioned I'd seen him open for Muddy Waters knew the venue. Most people I know who live here would be hard pressed to come up with that name. fjm
