I was living in St. Louis in 2009 and would often check the local music calendar out for interesting gigs coming to town. I was shocked when Hubert's name showed up for a show at a tiny little blues dive near the river. I watched him all night in that little place, right there in front of him as he played. He appeared old and tired, but he had the kindest looking eyes as he sat there in his seat and played for over two hours. I knew I was witnessing something special and cherish having seen this legend play.

I experienced something similar with Mr.Sumlin here in Ct. I don't really remember what year it was but it was at this little shithole dive bar called the Nightshift Cafe in the armpit of this State,maybe Derby or Naugatuck.Remember naugahyde? it was named after Naugatuck where they made that shit.Like everything in the Valley, a cheap imitation of something real.I digress, Hubert was sadly old and had seen some better days but just like the night you saw him in St.Louis once he got up on stage and started playing all that world weariness and sadness faded away and he put on an awesome show with the house band that I found out later on had a couple of truly great members,a cat by the name of Rocky Lawrence playing guitbox and a bass player BoBo Applewhite if I'm not mistaken.Sometimes you just experience serendipity and walk into something so incredible.Come to think of it I saw Sleepy LaBeef at the same place and Matt"Guitar" Murphy also at the same dive bar.

Bad enough the original label owners did it, but to have it happen again with them knowing it was horrible. At least Willie Dixon got some back royalites from Page stealing his compositions. Even the song Bron-Y-Air Stomp or Moby Dick wasn't theirs. Parts of Stairway was lifted from a Spirit song... no matter what the legal outcome was.

He's not alternating between matched and traditional grip. He's doing the "broomduster" or "street sweeper" that originated in Chicago. Hit with the front of the stick then hit with the back in an alternating pattern. Gives a syncopation to an otherwise straightforward rhythm. You can double up on it and get a bunch of ghost notes and snare brushes that you normally don't get in the two standard grips.
