JAMES T-MODEL FORD WAS ONE OF A KIND …. HE ASKED FOR JACK DANIELS, HE RECORDED MUSIC, HE WAS IN JAIL, HE WAS MARRIED TO HIS SIXTH WIFE STELLA WHEN HE PASSED … ONE DAY I ASKED HIM FOR HIS AUTOGRAPH .. HE DID THE BEST HE COULD AND ASKED ‘ IS THIS OK?’ I SAID IT WAS BETTER THAN OK … HE DIED WHEN HE WAS IN HIS MID NINETIES … PERFORMING, FLIRTING WITH THE LADIES AND HAVING THE BEST TIME IN HIS LIFE … THESE BLUESMEN ARE SORELY MISSED, AND WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
