True dat true dat- There are 2 Sonny Boys- But the first one is named John Lee Williamson and the second is named Rice Miller(who it is said played John Lee's tunes better than John Lee did!)
Big Walter and Little walter, blues harp virtuosos
indeed. But there's a whole lot mo harp players out there Nat-

Jazz Gillum
George Smith
Carey Bell
Jimmy Reed
Slim Harpo
Junior Wells
Sonny Terry
Buster Brown
Sugar Blue
Satan
James Cotton
Chester Burnette

The list goes on.

Some tunes you might want to check out:

(Little Walter);
Quarter to twelve
Just a Feelin
Blue Midnight
Dont Need No Horse
Walkin On( With Muddy Waters on a MEAN slide guitar)
Juke
(Rice Miller);
Cool Disposition

Why these tunes?
You wana good workout all the time. I didn't learned from playing 'Mary had a little Lamb'.
These are some of the toughest tunes I know in the Blues area, and cover a range of techniques,
such as Miller's warble, or Walter's 2hole draw bends on Bb. Check out Horton's Ab blow bend on 'hard-hearted woman'!That will knock your socks
right off!
