Shortly before the untimely death of John Lee “Sonny Boy” Williamson in June 1948 a thirteen year old Billy Boy Arnold visited the blues harp icon at his Chicago home for a series of harmonica lessons.

In an electrifying performance, Arnold pays tribute by playing a blues written by his former teacher the original Sonny Boy Williamson.
