Hang on Sloopy.
Saw him at a small club, the Bodega, back in the day. He tore it up.

 

[Number_35]

Hang On Sloopy was a bit in the summer of 1965 - he started young!

A must have live L.P. .

His work with fellow gunslinger guitarists Johnny Winter and Danny Johnson is memorable in my eye. RIP Rick.
