rbone 385 Playlist: Blues Breakers 5/31/2010 On Monday, May 24th, 2010,[lastfm]T-Bone Walker[/lastfm] was our Artist of the Week. T-Bone remains a major influence on blues guitarists. He had a few pretty big hit records on the R&B charts as far back as the 1940′s, so his tone and style of playing was heard and often copied by many players in the very early period of electric guitar. Friday would have been his 100th birthday.
