Hubert Sumlin, Our Friend and Brother

RECEIVED Mon., Dec. 5, 2011

Dear Editor,
    Those of us so lucky as to grow up amid the legends of the blues at Antone's knew we were witness to a history never to repeat itself. Hubert Sumlin stood out among all of them, not just for his unique style and phrasing, but for his genuine and open heart that embraced us all without a second thought. Our friend and brother will forever be missed. I'm not the only one that loved him dearly.
