High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles T-Bone Walker (May 28,
1910 - March 16, 1975) was an American blues guitarist, singer,
pianist and songwriter who was one of the most important pioneers
of the electric guitar. His electric guitar solos were among the
first heard on modern blues recordings. He was ranked #47 in
Rolling Stone magazine's Sept. 2003 list of The 100 Greatest
Guitarists of All Time. Aaron Thibeaux Walker was born in Linden,
Texas of African American and Cherokee descent. His parents, Rance
Walker and Movelia Jimerson were both musicians. In the early
1920s, the teenage Walker learned his craft amongst the
street-strolling stringbands of Dallas. His mother and stepfather
both played, and family friend Blind Lemon Jefferson sometimes
joined the family for dinner. Walker was Jefferson's protege and
would guide him around town for his gigs. In 1929, Walker made his
recording debut with a single for Columbia, "Wichita Falls
Blues"/"Trinity River Blues," billed as Oak Cliff T-Bone. Pianist
Douglas Fernell was his musical partner for the disc.
