We lost a great Bluesman Sunday. Mr. James Peterson was one of the greatest Bluesman I got to meet and play with, I owe so much to this man for teaching me so much about playing the Blues. There was never a show I've been to, whether as his guitarist or in the audience, that he didn't give it his best and put on one heck of a show! A true performer and one of the most beautiful voices I ever heard.

Rest in peace my friend, you will be missed. My sincerest condolences go out to Lucky and the rest of the Peterson family.

This is how JP (or Papa as we used to call him) played the Blues, unfortunately there aren't much videos of him out there...
