Willie Dixon: Bassology
Todays’ featured video showcases the amazing skills of bassist Willie Dixon, performing in 1966.
This clip, filmed by the Canadian television network CBC, was re-discovered 30 years later and released on a DVD entitled Blues Masters.
Special thanks to The Blues Blogger, for the tip and the great story.

That dude had some monster hands!!
Fantastic. I was at his funeral, lots of great players there.
I met him at a tiny little club in Boston and he let me play a tune on his bass. I was terrified and probably pretty awful, but he was so gracious. I’ll never forget.
