Hubert Sumlin RIP

(December 2011) "it was a life changing experience for so many of us, when, for the first time, we heard Hubert Sumlin play guitar on Howlin' Wolf's classic "Goin' Down Slow". Peace, Love, and eternal thanks to you Mr Sumlin, may you rest in Peace. John Peel, Peter Hope-Evans, and i, shared a deep love for this track, and fittingly, it was one of the recordings played at John's funeral."
