A personal memory: Alexis Korner was atremendous influence on me as a kid.From fifteen years old on I would visit there and he spent loads of time and attention showing me guitar licks, playing me records, telling me stories of blues musicians he knew. A fantastic educationalexperience. He helped so many young musicians like me, his influence on the UK blues, folk and rock world was incalculable. A great gentleman of the old school. I spend a lotof time now teaching youngsters tunes and telling them stories because Alexis showed me what an important thing that is.
