I knew Luther and played with him a couple of times. Primetime shared the stage with Luther at the Kenlake Hot August Blues Fest about 9 month before he passed.

Snooky Pryor also played, I was in blues heaven :!:

Here's Luther in action. I photographed him at the Pocono Blues Festival about a year before he passed. He really tore it up. His son Bernard is also an amazing Bluesman. Sorry about the quality. They're low res film scans.
