Louisiana Red plays "Let Me Be Your Electrician"

Louisiana Red plays some inspired slide guitar at BB King's in NYC in this clip from the TV show BluesNYC. Red, who passed away in Germany 0n 2/25/12, was around during the birth of electric blues and has shared the stage and/or recorded with all the greats. His winning of the WC Handy (now called BMA) award for Best Traditional Blues Artist back in 1983 is a testament to his contributions to the blues.
