On today's date August 6th, 1973 Memphis Minnie passed away... Known as a #blues pioneer, Minnie was more than a good artist, she could hold her own against any of the blues artists of her time. Most importantly she influenced many of today’s successful and aspiring guitarists.
Here's a link to one of my articles on her:

Very influential.
One of my favourite Blues artists!
She and Kansas Joe did some great songs.

Stan Hall Thanks Nephew I knew September 16th meant something to me just couldn't pull it to the front of my mind😎😎. Gezzzzzz I miss him so much. Wherever his spirit is I know he's on jam R.I.P.P Uncle BB
Stan Hall The video was a nice tribute to Uncle BB. I always look for your Grandmother in all of the old pics when they show Uncle BB, Uncle T-Bone, Ray Charles, Tina Turner, Lil Richard and any of the greats from back in the day. She was Road Manager for Uncle BB for years. Many of them ended up at Granny's house or the Howard Theatre. Thanks Again
