I know we've all had to play "Mustang Sally" WAAAY too many
times, but man, I loved this guy's voice. He just had "it".
I don't know where he's been since 1970, but just thought I would
acknowledge his passing today...

I was at Buddy Guy's Legends last night (Thursday) to see Buddy play.
He acknowledged Pickett's passing, and later on in the set, he invited
Jim Peterik (who's a good friend of his) to come up and jam with him
and the band on "Mustang Sally". It was Jim's idea, but oddly enough
Jim had come up with it a couple of days earlier, before Pickett died.
The whole house was rockin' to that one.
Ya know, for a 69-year-old dude, Guy still smokes. And I mean that in
a musical sense.

Buddy is terrific. I met him at the club years ago. Nice guy,
no attitude.
Wilson had tunes with much more grit than Sally. I like "99 1/2"
myself. What a voice...

Agreed- 99 1/2 inspired me to be a horn player...

I had the pleasure of playing with Wilson many years ago. Great guy and a
great talent.
