Just out of curiosity, if I were to play "Juke", note for note, on a live 
gig, what amount of money would I legally have to send to Little Walter's 
sister? What about if I played a solo note for note (12 bars) imbedded into 
my own song? It was already clarified that riffs (4 bars) are ok without 
royalty issues.

The rights to Juke are held by the Goodman Group, who have the publishing 
rights to the Chess stuff and not Little Walter's sister.
I have no idea what the fees involved would be, or were when my publisher 
worked out these matters with Goodman (I transcribed Juke for Masters of 
Blues Harp).
