I ran Howlin' Wolf's workshop at the Newport Folk festival in 66 or 67. I was on the sound crew, had the privilege of setting up for HW on a hot afternoon. When I noticed that he intended to crawl out through the audience on his hands and knees I sent someone running to the main stage for more mike cord. What a day, a stage made of boards on the grass, three guys in suits laying down funky chops, and Howlin' Wolf.

Very cool, in my opinion he is the king, one of my top 10 all time easy.
