Subject: Pinetop Perkins R.I.P. Probably my favorite piano bluesman. I remember years ago listening to a killer blues festival on NPR, Pinetop was playing in the band of one of the headliners, and was flat out kicking butt on the ivories. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/macon/obituary.aspx?n=pinetop-perkins&pid=149542579

	I saw him in the 80's, he sat in with the Nighthawks. He was "old" then ... 97 years is a lot of blues. RIP indeed. 11

	I saw him in Muddy Waters' band on a bill with Johnny Winter and James Cotton at DAR Constitution Hall in 1977. Great show. RIP Pinetop.

	Saw him with Muddy Waters' band at Bogart's in Cincinnati back in 1977--good show at a horrible venue. RIP, Pinetop.
