Yes. Chronic Alcoholic. Cirrhosis and complications. I think he died in
1996. Big name in the Blues world. Regarded as the best slide guitarist in
the world at one stage. I met him once in Cork post concert and he gave me
a plectrum. Extremely shy self effacing man. They have named a street in his
honour in Paris. He could do a mean Lead Belly cover.
