      @@ayushmanbhalla8737 blues players take what is old, and bring it to life by making it feel new. It’s not about doing anything new it’s about finding your voice while paying respect to those who came before you. King Fish is a walking breathing piece of history, thank god he keeps the torch shining high and bright

    In 1966 I bought a similar 50's Fender Esquire with a brown cardboard case for $35 when I was 15 years old and paid for it by delivering newspapers. It was that transparent blonde, white pickguard and maple neck. I played it for a year or so. I was walking home by the local hardware store and got me a can of blue spray paint. Yes, I painted the body blue and many years later realized that I will be going to Hell because of this.
