just how good was the old blues master? 85 years of age but still amazing. he may only play 5 or 6 notes, but those notes could tear you apart.

I agree.  A real musical hero to many many people.....and what about that voice of his, equally brilliant and able to tear you apart.

Assume you're referring to his hour set at Glastonbury yesterday. Yes... it was VERY good. And he had a fine band to 'carry' him. But you're right about those sweet notes he throws out - he's still got that magic, but he's very sparing with it these days though!
