Howlin' Wolf profile

[dave rudolph <drcurly@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am very curious about Howlin' Wolf's actual personality. Was he a 
sweet gentle giant? I know I did read once read a reference to him 
scaring the hell out of his audiences on occasion. Was this "good 
acoustics" or the effects of a larger than life presence? Was he "Evil" 
or "sweet"? One thing for sure, he placed his life and life span right 
in the heart of the blues embryo. Can you imagine Rice being part of 
your supportive family?

That's exactly how Howling Wolf handled his sound man. That's why his 
tone
was so good through the PA. Such a sweet, gentle guy.
