He came to my area about seven years ago. I was looking forward to hearing his guitar and keyboard playing. One look at his arthritis crippled hands before he went on told me I was only going to hear him sing. Sing he did, and it was a great show. Congratulations Dutch. |

The photo in today's Globe & Mail had his left (fretting) hand in the foreground; pitiful, you could clearly see how weak and twisted it has become. But he looked healthy, strong and happy. |

He certainly is the Prime Minister of the Blues! sIx |
