Junior has always meant alot to me as far as music history goes...I feel the most important moment in Rock n Roll was when Keith Richards approached his former classmate, Mick Jagger, at the tube station and started talking music because Mick had a Junior Wells & Buddy Guy album under his arm....and the rest is history!
