And then he wailed.
Hubert Sumlin joined James. Nuff said. Pinetop Perkins joined later.

My Highlight of the Day---James Cotton
Moments before James Cotton's band took the stage, Lurrie Bell, Hubert Sumlin, Fiona Boyes and other Chi-ractors sat around backstage

Hubert Sumlin, Pinetop Perkins and James Cotton and his band were a real joy to have around. They are not just living legends but cool people as well. James Cotton's second guitar player, Tom Holland, is a guy I've been watching develop since he was a teenager and it was great to be able to hang out with my old friend for a while. Hubert Sumlin, who was Howlin' Wolf's guitar player is just a joy to be around. And if you want to befriend 94 year old Pinetop Perkins, just bring him a McDonalds cheeseburger!! He loves them more than anything. Local artist Diane Russell actually hiked up to Broadway just to get Pinetop his "Micky D burger". He was grinning from ear to ear.
Oh ... did I mention that the set of music by the James Cotton Band was one of the hottest sets of the festival so far?
Good post.
