Tom 1960 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) It seems from viewing his Facebook page and reading posts on Blindman's Blues Forum, former Howlin' Wolf guitarist Hubert Sumlin has passed. Hoping this is not true, but it sadly appears to be. Edited December 4, 2011 by Tom 1960 Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 Saw/heard him many times. Another blues master gone. Quote
paul secor Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 Thanks for all of the music you've left us, Mr. Sumlin. Quote
paul secor Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 Saw/heard him many times. Another blues master gone. Saw and heard him live just once, about twenty years ago. Never heard him play live with Wolf. You've had a very rich listening life. Quote
trane_fanatic Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 Had the pleasure to see him w/ Honeyboy Edwards early this year at a Robert Johnson centennial tribute here in SF. They both were hooked up to portable respirators when playing, but were still jamming. Sadly, they're both gone now. Quote
