R.I.P. Matt 'Guitar' Murphy

Another one gone. 88, not a bad innings. Sleep well.

Certainly.  I first saw him when I was in hospital after a cartilege operation as an 17 year-old.  I guess I should thank rugger for giving me the blues!  The ward television was showing the blues package from a railway station and I think apart from Matt, Rosetta Tharpe and Howling Wolf were featured, but I could be wrong.  I know that the artistes were bowled over by the reception given to them by British honkies which was far in excess of anything they enjoyed in the US.

Thanks Matt.

But babes, this is Jake and Elwood, the Blues Brothers.

Genius.

I only know him from the Blues Brothers*


*But that's not a bad way to be remembered, as a key part of a timeless classic.
