Keep that bubble intact.  There's a whole lot of music that wouldn't have 
gotten made without Willie Dixon.  He was a great producer, studio 
musician, and alot of those songs are either his for real, or he did the 
adaptation that we all love now.  He's the bass player on most of those 
classic Chuck Berry records, for goodness sake.

You can hear it in the Big Three Trio stuff, too - he understood what the 
audience wanted and how to shape what they got.

You can say this about very few people: without him, no rock and roll.
