[Harp-L] James Cotton RIP

[Michael Peloquin]

cool story Richard -

RIP Cotton-

I loved his playing on Muddy's Hard Again and the other Blue Sky recording that was produced by Johnny Winter around that time.

Cotton & Johnny had really great musical chemistry.

Cotton had a huge sound, and it made an impression on me.

In 1979, I went to Nashville to do a "masterclass" session for oak
publications with Charlie mcCoy and Cotton.  At one point in the session,
McCoy--who had studied Little Walter very carefully--told me that he'd
always regretted not meeting Walter, but after spending a couple of hours
with Cotton, he felt like he had.
