Remembering Robert Lockwood Jr.
Bill Wasserzieher, Blues Revue, February 2007
WHEN ROBERT LOCKWOOD JR. passed away at age 91 on Nov. 21, the obituaries in the major daily press made much of his connection to legendary bluesman Robert Johnson. The Washington Post's Adam Bernstein noted, "Mr. Lockwood learned guitar fundamentals from Johnson, who also functioned as an occasional stepfather although there was only a four-year age difference."
