#3 GolfBravoUSMC - Muddy Waters used to grab rides with me to escape his handlers after a night of Jamming in the ZOO BAR. His managers (some fat wimmin) would get used to him stepping out in the alley with me for breaks then near the end of the last set he would step in the alley and my car would be there and off to whatever parties where they were not...
I liked Muddy.. a real character..

#6 3dc,

Mindin' Muddy must've been like guarding Fort Knox--national treasure and all that plus a lot more laughs to talk to...

May he rest in peace. Thanks, Muddy!

(And thank you, Alice White.)
