That video was the #1 reason I stopped thinking about buying an upright and did it.

Willie Dixon wrote the book that everyone uses for western pop-rock-blues music.

He stated that Led Zepplin PAID him dearly for using his tunes.

He came to Ann Arbor in 1979 and said in an interview:

"As long as they paid the money, they can say what ever they want on that record about who wrote what. I got my money and so did Wolf".

I'm definitely storing that anecdote away for later!

Only Willie can get away with titling an album "I Am The Blues." (Which is a killer album btw)
