My favorite stories involve johnny getting established. He asked to sit in with B B King and impressed B B King in the Beaumont days. One of my favorite recordings is the Bloomfield live recording in 1968 when he was discovered and landed the record contract. Incredible sound. Always cool when someone new comes on the scene and blows everyone away. Kind of like when hendrix was at the Marquis club and played to the beatles, clapton etc and blew them away.
I saw photos of Hendrix playing at the Marquis with The Beatles,The Rolling Stones,Clapton,The Who,Donavon,etc sitting in the audience. Some were even sitting on the floor because it was SRO!
