R.I.P. Honeyboy.
It takes a lot of courage to live 96 years. Thanks for sharing your gift with us.

From Dee’s FB page:
Richard Ramsey says, “I was backstage at the robert johnson tribute in Meridian a few months back when hubert and honeyboy were playing w/big head todd and cedric and malcolm. He was still sharp as a tack and remembered hoboing w/ big joe williams thru west point. He told me back in 97 the story of robert johnson being poisoned and how he was “foamin at the mouth like a rabid dog”….RIP HONEYBOY”
