Guitarist, singer, and foot tapper extraordinaire! Seriously talented! Great!

[@jaydeeharlee6575]

The music R &B you play has said it ALL.

That rendition of Mono Hand was great you even slapped the guitar like Lightnin did in the video I seen of him playing it.

Just got turned on to JD tonight! Great stuff! Looking forward to diving in deeper!

[@jacksoncox2343]

Thank you for putting these together man. You’re one hell of a player and a true blues aficionado. Not sure if you’ll ever see this or if you’ve ever heard this record but there’s a magic Sam album on Spotify called Westside Guitar Wizard where Magic is only playing slide… some of the funkiest shit I’ve ever heard man. Peace and love and can’t wait for you to come back to Tulsa on the 5th of September. Keep on rockin brotha.

Awesome stuff

Good evening JD. Let's get this Friday night started.

[@chrisjames1924]

Looks like a nice old J-45 you have there. Have you needed to have any of the top/bracing reglued? Btw, l saw you on tour last year with TE in the UK (Shrewsbury). My jaw was on the floor for the duration of your set. Incredibly powerful player. Certainly the best blues guitarist I've seen live that's for sure.

What an awesome episode! I'll be coming back to this one a few times, I expect...

[@sirhilaryflange]

Check out Garret Mason, Love & Sound album...you can smell the grease, such a down home vibe with plenty of lightnin’ licks thrown in...Charles Bradley wow the song “I feel a change”, doesn’t get much better.

[@johnr8820]

Ever since I first came across Lightnin’ in some footage of him at a folk festival overseas in a black tux and black shades and I thought he was the coolest man ever since and still do...Lightnin’ Hopkins forever..the greatest

So I'm sittin here on a Saturday night, listening to your show, I just bought your album and I'm excited to listen to it for the first time. I'm a two year guitar student and I started listening to lightning only six months ago, now after listening to your show I'm inspired to do a video of me trying to fumble my way through one of his songs. Thank you for inspiring me JD, you have been there for me and brought me a lot of smiles, your playing moves me man. Thanks

[@musicmuseacademy4613]

I admire your reverence and knowledge of your influences, and it's fantastic that you share it.

[@lukeurick9397]

YESSSSS love these streams!!!

[@elliebeantv]

Yes! You know its Friday night when we're watching JD pontificate and I'm sipping whiskey.

[@billtice5057]

Damn... That’s pretty close JD. That’s closer than Eddie Hawkins. I’m impressed! It’s definitely got the vibe which is always the hardest part to nail.
