and others . Great respect to a lot of blues greats on that album
There was a lot of tribute at the Blues Fest Chicago 16 for Otis Rush . He came on in a wheelchair for a few mins. at blues fest but he was trying to still have fun even though he could not perform I am sure he had great memories . He played at it often through the years and even had record releases from the fest in earlier years.
In 16 the grand finale at night was a great tribute to Otis Rush and the mayor declared it Otis Rush day!
