Remember Newport 1965 ....

Son House, Dick Waterman, Paul Butterfield  and Paul Rothchild

Son House, Dick Waterman, Paul Butterfield and record producer
Paul Rothchild (Butterfield, Doors, Bonnie Raitt, Janis Joplin, etc.).

Note that Son is playing a wooden guitar and not a steel-body National

Click on the picture to go to Dick Waterman´s website.

He´s also the only non-performer to be inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame.
