JOHNNY JONES TALKS ABOUT HOW BOBBY "BLUE" BLAND WANTED HIS GUITAR STYLE TO SOUND - LIKE WAGRadio FAVOURITE WAYNE BENNETT [IN A T-BONE MODE]

Johnny Jones of Johnny Jones and The King Casuals talks about travelling with the Bobby "Blue" Bland Revue between 1976 and '79 and how Bobby didn't want to hear much bending of strings but a more straight ahead T-Bone Walker style of play. Mr. Jones, who died just the other day, was a student of Bobby's long-time guitarist Wayne Bennett in the seventies and was the perfect fit for the great Duke records vocalist's band.

Thanks to CO-OP Radio's Ron Simmonds, host of 'Blues In The Dark' for [once again] hipping us to another superb video.
