Sonny boy Williamson blues

This is my tribute to Sonny boy Williamson 2 aka Alex Rice Miller - a master of the bluesharp and legendary bluesman who played with or was backed up by the most famous blues musicians from the 30's to the 60's including Robert Johnson, Howling Wolf, Tampa Red, Robert Junior Lockwood, Muddy Waters, Otis Spann, Willie Dixon, Eric Clapton, The Animals. He was the main influence on Jimmy Reed's bluesharp style and Reed recorded in 1966 a tribute to Sonny boy one year after Williamson's death. This tribute is similar to my Jimmy Reed tribute - an animated short with new recorded music - and I don't want to emulate the sound of these musicians but want to honor the men and their music. It would make me happy to bring you a little joy into your everyday life and if it would make some of you curious to listen to the original stars or even lesser known contemporaries from the 20's to 60's it would be fantastic. Thank you
