Hi Ari,
I was wondering if you had any intention of including one of Lonnie Johnson's accompaniments of Texas Alexander in the Lonnie Johnson video you are preparing. I think Lonnie's accompaniments for Alexander were really superlative, actually my favorites of his blues playing. I think something about Alexander's unpredictable phrasing kept Lonnie on his toes and prevented him from relying so heavily on his customary licks. I know it may be beyond the purview of what you've had in mind, but I was just wondering.
All best,
Johnm
