RIP.

May the whang-bar flying 'V' escort you to heaven. You could play, my friend.

 

A little acoustic guitar duet with SRV for your enjoyment:

Damn, I seen him a couple times live.

 

When Mack did his big comeback album with SRV's help, he played with keyboardist Stan Szelest of "Stan and the Ravens". Szelest played regular in Buffalo when I was living there and later moved to Woodstock where one would see him regular when he played with The Band's members locally.

 

Mack showed up at one of those impromptu jam sessions I happen to catch and played a hell of a set. 

 

Szelest died years ago in his late 40's in Woodstock area.

 

Lots of interwoven connections between all those talented musicians back then.....

Sounds like the "midnight rambles" sessions in Levon Helm's barn. Pretty amazing stuff. There's a documentary/movie.

Lonnie was one heck of a player. RIP......
