R.I.P. (fuck cancer)

He was as cool as his nickname and one hell of a telecaster scratcher.

RIP Albert -- Who's makin dirty dishes with you ? 

Long Live The Blues

I want a Telecaster.

I saw him in Chapel Hill. Early and Late show in '87. He broke more strings than anyone I have ever seen. At least one a song. that being said he was really good.

I saw Albert at least a dozen times in the 1980's. All in nightclubs in Chicagoland. Biddy Mulligans and Fitzgerald's come to mind. First guy I ever saw play blues with a capo on the 6th fret! His horn player would play two saxophones at one time on occasion.
