RIP Pinetop Perkins
The great boogie-woogie artist is dead at 97.
Here he is performing at the youthful age of 91 at the SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas.
“I remember the days when I played at chicken fights and your only pay was the dead chicken,” he once told the New York Times. “But now I can’t retire even if I want to. Everybody’s calling me.”
