I saw Hubert play many times before his health began to decline, mostly in Nawlin's clubs and in various groups with Bob Margolin over the years. Some 20+ years ago, we had him booked for an outdoor festival, and the monsoons hit. Some "bigger name" artists would have simply demanded their check and continued to their "next stop" as had happened before. Not Hubert...we moved everything into an old train depot with the crappiest acoustics possible, and Hubert, Bob, et al put on a show I still remember. 90% of the crowd had gone home, but the rest of us were treated to "blues royalty". I'm sorry you lost a friend Jeremy, they just don't come any nicer than Hubert Sumlin. RIP Hubert...you will be missed.
