Happy Birthday Albert Collins

Celebrating the life and music of Texas Blues guitar master Albert Collins
-aka- The Iceman -aka- The Razor Blade -aka- The Master of The Telecaster!

I've never seen a performance of Albert where he wasn't giving
every bit he had to the music and the audience and few Blues musicians can
take it to the level Collins could every night.

Here is my tribute to The Master Of The Telecaster with hours of Live Video in his honor

I had heard of Albert Collins and loved his music. I did not know what he looked like.

I was sitting at the bar when this old (to me, anyway) guy came and sat next to me and struck up a conversation. He seemed to know the bartender and insisted my drinks be put on my tab. We talked for maybe 45 minutes.

Imagine my surprise when the show began and he walked out on the stage. Great show, and a really nice guy.
