Carey Bell

Its been about two years since we lost the great Carey Bell...(a little background info)
Carey Bell (November 14, 1936 - May 6, 2007[1]) was an American musician who played the harmonica in the musical style of Chicago blues. Bell played harp and bass for other blues icons for decades, including Earl Hooker, Robert Nighthawk, Lowell Fulson, Eddie Taylor, Louisiana Red and Jimmy Dawkins.)
I had the chance to review him for a show in Carolina Beach, I'll never forget him. Quite the charmer he was. I was talking to his bandmate Scott, and Carey turned around, took a swig of his drink, and said "You sho is pretty!". That was all, but you gotta love him.
