His hands were so twisted from Arhritis that there was no way he could play anymore, but he put on a great show. Rest in Peace Dutch. |

It was sad and impressive at the same time. He was in a wheelchair and could hardly hold up his head - but he still had the big voice and still belted out the blues. RIP. |

24 Dec 06 - 11:38 PM (#1918511) Subject: RE: Obit: Dutch Mason, Prime Minister of the Blues From: number 6 Sad news indeed. I too last saw him 3 years ago .... shocked to see him wheeled up on stage ... though in a wheel chair he could still command the band and belt out those songs, beer in one hand, a cigarette in the other. Dutch was not only a blues musician, but he lived the life of a bluesman, true to his craft. He will be missed. biLL |

Dutchie and John Allen both fought a hard struggle, and both will be deply missed by their fans! To quote Tom T. Hall on "Clayton Delaney": "It could be that the good Lord likes a little picking too" |
