Something More To Know about Kader Sundy Hello FB Friends...( TO DAY: LUTHER ALLISON... R.I.P,) : Ill post every day, a photo of artist I met on the road ..Luther Allison, R.I.P, I remember that day, it was in 1997, Luther knew that he was suffering from cancer, but he came to share the stage with us ... He was tired, but that does not prevent to the show, a good man and a very great bluesman, Peace it was a great emotion for me to share the stage with an artist of such great influence. ( 1997 -Paris- ) Born in Widener, Arkansas in 1939, Luther Allison (the 14th of 15 musically gifted children) first connected to the blues at age ten, when he began playing the diddley bow (a wire attached by nails to a wall with rocks for bridges and a bottle to fret the wire). His family migrated to Chicago in 1951, and Luther began soaking in the sounds of Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, and Robert Nighthawk. He was classmates with Muddy Waters son and occasionally stopped in the Waters house to watch the master rehearse. It wasnt until he was 18 already in Chicago for seven years that Luther began playing blues on a real guitar and jamming with his brother Ollies band.
