“I want all you people to listen to my song, remember me after the days I’m gone”. That was what Lonnie Johnson sang on 4 November 1925 in St. Louis, his first ever solo recording. Johnson is the most influential blues guitarist of the 20s. His patterns can be retraced in the works of later masters such as Robert Johnson, T-Bone Walker and B.B. King.
