Hi Chris­tine. I’m very sor­ry about your moth­er. Mine died when I was 20 and about to make a name for myself in the Blues. My birth­day is also Dec. 17th. So, I feel like you and I have lots in com­mon. When I was 20 I had already played with, Fred­die King, B.B.King, Luther Alli­son, and a few oth­ers. I jammed with Albert King, No Dud­ley, Son­ny Ter­ry and Brown­ie McGee a few times. Aged with Willie Dixon for 2 weeks. Was a pret­ty ” up and Comin’ kin­da guy ” . But, then, so sad­dened by my moth­ers­death decid­ed to play any kind of music that played well. When the work with B.B. start­ed slow­ing down I lost my apart­ment and joined a coun­try band. They thought I was great at Coun­try but I was only playin’ Blues. I had to pay my bills so I start­ed play­ing Top 40 in the ’80’s. I play slide pret­ty well so it was easy to do Joe Walsh, Eagles type music. I’m hopin’ to meet you even­tu­al­ly because I think I can help you. You’re a good guy and a tal­ent­ed per­son. I’d love to get togeth­er with you!!!
Hate to sound like a jerk, but mes­sage me some­time. I have emence respect for you and can prob­a­bly help…at least I think I can.
Your friend, Den­nis

By the way…I HATE “auto-cor­rect!! “CHRISTONE” NOT “CHRISTINE” I HATE “auto-cor­rect!!

Hi again…I had a long let­ter of peo­ple I’ve played with. I’d also like to share some advice. We have things in com­mon. I was 20 when my moth­er died. She left some hints about keep playin and stuff like that. I played with big-name and some small name and peo­ple I know you would have giv­en any­thing to play with! My birth­day is even 12/17! Please mes­sage me so we can talk a lit­tle. I even went thru Clarks­dale the oth­er day hon­ing got find you! Please mes­sage me… I I’m­think I can hep! DM Sprester
