Matt "Guitar" Murphy
From commenter John Snider comes the sad news of the passing of Matt "Guitar" Murphy.
Here's a video clip of Murphy, Memphis Slim and Bill Stepny performing at the 1963 European Blues Festival.
Vale. Thanks to the internet so we can appreciate all these talents. Up to the 70s we in the outside world knew little about the US Blues scene except thru a few records and the pop stars who imitated them. I remember Buddy Guy and Junior Wells toured here early 70s, it was a revelation.
