Robert Lockwood Jr.; Cleveland, OH. 1998
Robert Lockwood Jr. was one of the last great original Delta bluesmen. He let me photograph him in his latter performing years. He was my entry into blues and music photography. Mr. Lockwood was a gracious man and allowed me to photograph him in his Cleveland, OH. home several times. He was born near Helena, ARK. in 1915 and was a pioneer in amplfied blues guitar. He was a direct link to the legendary Robert Johnson. Even a young B.B. King learned from him.
