 He's been blind since the age of eight, and then he moved to New Orleans where it would be warmer, and he played five nights a week at the old Absinthe House for 14 years down there. He was the house band that had guests like James Cotton and Mahogany Rush's Frank Marino and a 13-year-old kid by the name of Kenny Wayne Shepard, Mr. Brian Lee. Still out there doing it.
