I got to see Pinetop 3 different times during the last 5 years. The last at the Blues Festival at Helena, Arkansas. As always he amazed everyone with his fantastic piano playing. We will all miss his great musical talent. A true legend in the blues world.

Bob, I feel privileged to have seen Pinetop a few times in Wheeling. The last time being this past summer of 2010. He was certainly one of the finest piano players and a gentleman. It sounds like the “celebration” was perfect and proper for Pinetop and he will be missed. Bob Spragg

Daryl, as I said in the story, playing “Pinetop’s Boogie Woogie” with you was really special, since Pinetop had retired the song. You are carrying him on in your music very strongly. Thanks for your kind words, my friend.

When Pat Morgan said Frank was coming to Austin and he wanted to play at the funeral, the only thing to say was “Of course!” Aside from all the mourning and celebrating going on, Frank really played great at both the funeral and Antone’s.
