Willie Brown: Lots of towns... Lots of songs... Lots of women... Good times... Bad times... Only thing I wanted anyone to say is... 'He could really play... He was good'.
Trivia: Willie told Eugene "Muddy Waters invented electricity." Muddy Waters was McKinley Morganfield's [4/04/1913 - 4/30/1983] stage name. Muddy Waters was from Mississippi but relocated to Chicago where he played/fathered "Chicago Blues" and was among the first to use an electric (trified) guitar. Due to how noisy the Chicago South Side was, Muddy need to "amp" the sound of his guitar. Like Willie told Eugene he needed a slide to play the Blues, Muddy Waters wore a slide. (00:34:40)
