CHARLIE LOVE:
I met Albert Collins here at the Kingston Mines. We didn't git a chance to play wid 'im, his guitar was in the trunk, 'cause it's set up special fo' his style o' playin'.
...Two times I met 'im. The last time was, like, a month or two...I wan' be specific---it wa'n't long after, he passed. He walked in, and I could feel some emotions comin' from him, that something wa'n't right. I went home...I told my wife, I say, "Somethin' not right with Albert, I see a sadness in 'im." And he passed.
But he was great, I love his music, I have his CDs at home--and, he's another great blues artist. A true pioneer of the blues.
In one o' his songs he said, "A good fool is hard to find." And I always think about that in my everyday life situations. (7/30/00 AE)
