I doubt anyone here knows who he is.

I know his family personally and so I can't really comment on much without being biased.

He also claims the Susie Q riff.

That's cool. So you know he was born in Dubberly, right outside of Minden. I'm just a big fan from way back. My dad saw him play at the hayride and talked about him and how good he was. He does have his own style.

Loved him in the Elvis years - especially when E would let him.

"Take it James!"
