pfretrock Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Thanks for that, a lot I did not know. First encountered Willie Dixon on Johnny Winter's first CBS album in '69/70. A great musician and composer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shambo Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Willie was an inspiration for me to first pick up the bass guitar. A great songwriter and great bassist. Good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzy Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Great piece on a great man. I used to have a copy of his autobiography " I am the blues" but lost it in a house move a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casapete Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Excellent stuff. Willie's playing with Chuck Berry probably is the reason I started getting into bass and music in general. Legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
