Eric H	He was great, and truly unique. This amazed me --I had no idea he was a drummer too: "Seals hit the road playing guitar with Earl Hooker in 1963, and soon after that as a drummer with Albert King (with whom he recorded the seminal Stax album Live Wire/ Blues Power)" I wore the grooves off that record, and had no idea. -Eric

bob p	if the only Chicago bluesman you're familiar with is Buddy Guy, you need to spend more time in the Chicago blues clubs.
