Son Seals was another one of my favorite bluesmen. Throughout his lifetime, Son suffered many setbacks, but never allowed his misfortunes to stop him. His ex wife shot him in the face a couple times, he lost one of his legs to diabetes, got a lot of his guitars stolen & lost his belongings in a house fire...just to name a few. I guess Son is one bluesman who truly earned his blues creds. After a lifetime of living the blues, Son died in 2004 from complications of diabetes. My very favorite author, Andrew Vachss, was a friend of Son & promoted him through several of his books. He had the voice & guitar style of the quintessential bluesman..RIP Son, you are dearly missed...
