NWR: Pinetop Perkins is dead

[Christian Miller (CMM)]

Pianist for multiple Muddy Waters' bands. Dead at age 97, still had some gigs booked that are now left unfilled forever; that's impressive. I hope I'm half as cool at any point in the last 20 years of my life.

I guess the question really is: which Pinetop thread will age longer?

A great loss for Delta types all the way to the forlorn southwestern corner of Europe. RIP, Willie.
