GUEST,Baz Parkes	Obit: Shetland legend Peerie Willie Johnston(2007) (21)	Obit: Shetland Legendary Guitarist PeerieWilli	31 May 07
From Rod Stradling's MusicalTraditions site 'Peerie' Willie Johnson In the late afternoon of Tuesday 22 May 2007, Shetland lost a true musical legend with the quiet passing of 'Peerie' Willie Johnson at the age of 86. Born in Yell, before moving to Lerwick, 'Peerie' Willie was our very own home-grown guitar genius, equally at home trading tunes, chords and licks in his 'local' with anyone who cared (or dared) to join in or modestly, even reluctantly, sharing the stage with some great musical names, occasionally in front of massive TV or radio audiences. For what its worth IMO one of the finest guitar accompanists ever...and not too bad at the occasional solo That celestial session just keeps growing... Baz
