Johnny “Guitar” Watson

On this day in 1996 (May 17th) US blues guitarist Johnny Guitar Watson died of a heart attack while on tour in Yokohama, Japan. According to eyewitness reports, he collapsed mid guitar solo. His last words were "ain't that a bitch."

Frank Zappa stated that "Watson's 1956 song 'Three Hours Past Midnight' inspired me to become a guitarist". Watson contributed to Zappa's albums One Size Fits All (1975), Them or Us (1984), Thing-Fish (1984) and Frank Zappa Meets the Mothers of Prevention (1985). Zappa also named "Three Hours Past Midnight" his favorite record in a 1979 interview.

Jimmie Vaughan, brother of Stevie Ray Vaughan, is quoted as saying: "When my brother Stevie and I were growing up in Dallas, we idolized very few guitarists. We were highly selective and highly critical. Johnny 'Guitar' Watson was at the top of the list, along with Freddie, Albert and B.B. King. Watson influenced Jimi Hendrix, Sly Stone, Etta James, and Stevie Ray Vaughan..

This is cool Austin TX band (Megafauna)uses odd time signatures with ease and taste to the point of the song. Rockers and musicians of note 🎶✨ recommend listening-

Slim Harpo !

Happy birthday to the King Bee, Slim Harpo! A guitarist, vocalist and harp player par excellence, Slim Harpo was a Swamp Blues pioneer. His influence can be heard among British Invasion bands, as well as the stars that came out of the 1970s Antone’s scene.

As Mick Jagger said, “What's the point in listening to us doing ‘I’m a King Bee’ when you can hear Slim Harpo do it?” We think Cliff Antone would agree.

Wiley Cousins writes, and I agree: This was "The Keystone" club in 1984 when our band "The Fur Trappers" used to play there. It was a going club back in the day. Run by a colorful character named "Big" Bob Corona. We played shows with Johnny Winter, The Blasters, etc...etc.... This is a sad video for me.
