This great clip includes Texas guitar legend John Thurman "Long John" Hunter (1931 - 2016). He decided to buy a guitar, after attending a B.B. King concert in the early fifties. The rest is history, He decided to move to Juarez, Mexico, where he played for years in the Lobby Club. In the meantime, he released several record hits.
He is accompanied on this recording by Ray Sharp (1938, Fort Worth, Texas). Sharp released a big hit in 1959 "Linda Lu". A song that was covered by great artists and bands, like Tom Jones and the Rolling Stones. On the original version Sharp played together with the legendary Duane Eddy.
This material was shot in the Dutch café Nick Vollebregt in Laren, where in 1997 the programme "TROS Sesjun" was recorded.
A note. Ray Sharp is on tenor saxophone.
