Amazing...!!

Even without sound you can tell the man had tone... :)

Thank you so much for posting this as it also lead me to a very rare clip I've never seen of Sonny Boy doing a 1st position solo rendition of "One room cabin"...

Here's the link:

This kind of thing is like pure gold to me... I cannot truly say how deep and profound an influence SBWII has been on me as a harp player.

Wow! That was absolutely wonderful! A peak into the King Biscuit Time shows that I've heard about since I first head about Sonny Boy! Thanks so much for posting, Tom! Look how YOUNG they were!
Coolosity!

Previously unknown footage of Sonny Boy Williamson II (Rice Miller) with Robert Junior Lockwood on guitar. Sadly there is no sound, but this is clearly the earliest footage of him to surface yet. Color home-movies from c. 1942 (and the latter part c. 1952.) Amazing the stuff that still keeps popping up!
