Pinetop Perkins, whose guitar playing days were ended by a knife-wielding chorus girl, was born on this day in 1913. http://www.allaboutbluesmusic.com/pinetop-perkins/ His early career as a guitarist was cut short by that injury so Joe Willie (Pinetop) Perkins took up piano and developed a rolling Boogie style that saw him play with Muddy and a host of Chicago legends. | All About Blues Music
