Got a chance to see him about a decade ago, and he wasn’t looking good then, he had to sit in a chair for the whole gig, but man, he could still play!

I saw him about the same time - maybe a bit more recently - and it was a similar thing. He sat most of the time, and I think his son carried about half of the show. I was thinking it was maybe time to put Lucille back in the guitar case, but entertainers like to entertain.
