Jerry Lightfoot

Bluesman Jerry Lightfoot, a fixture in the Houston music scene for many years, passed away in Austin yesterday at the age of 55. He performed in homage to greats like Big Walter Price and B B King, and in encouragement to lesser lights such as even myself. He had the heart to play great music, and the guts to make a life of it in this dark age. Lord knows there's easier ways to earn a living.
