I remember Ray making me learn insane sax-like solos on the guitar, and no fingers where spared on 9, 13, flat 5, etc. chords chords chords. He was a very nice guy. "You're gonna be a monsta Kovic," was always his encouraging praise. Those lessons paid huge dividends over the years. What would life be without the challenge of the instrument? Thank You Ray.

I love him. He’s the best!!!!! Hope I get to play like him. ❤

They all all came up on Tbone Walker's back!

Studied with Ray back in the 70s learned a lot and still have many lead sheets and charts that he hand wrote.

Thank you … this is so good … Snooky had a phrasing and time that were so uniquely him …. Tip top 🙏🙏 and the band full of love and respect .. great !!!

This is mighty, mighty fine!!

JOE MONK was as great a guitarist as any of them TAL FARLOW - BARNEY KESSEL - CHUCK WAYNE - JIMMY RANEY - I saw them all play live in the clubs - But JOE MONK stayed with teaching guitar rather than going out too much playing - Yet I did see him play a few times out AT THE Garden City Hotel , Long Island ,New York - and What I said before holds true !

My big brother, I miss you Rocky. Love you 😘💗🙏🎼🎶🎤🎵

george always solid as a rock. RIP brother.

thanks fr posting. RIP George.

In VERY loving memory of Mr. James Edward "Snooky" Pryor (1921 - 2006 R.I.P. Gone but NOT forgotten).

According to Tony Glover's biography on Little Walter, it was Snooky who found the riff that Walter used in his career-defining hit, Juke.

Tasty! There should be more recordings of this legend! Great sound and feel and everyone is jamming on all fours if you'll pardon a pun. Nice.

Superb harp player and singer, songwriter. I was always blowing Snooky Pryor numbers..on my harp. Legend.

He's my brother, and I miss him. 2 years gone. Thanks for posting this.

Too cool!!

Blissed-out Bob. thanx

When I was 14 I took a few lessons from Joe Monk ... I am 76 now. I didn't stay with the lessons unfortunately.

Really nice work Eddie, great tone! Is there a lesson or tabs on this somewhere? Can't find any anywhere.

Tough Rocky- say hi to Bob for us too.

He was a hella of harmonica player, in fact I'd say he was the best playing that harmonica like nobody else, he was the first introducing the microphone between and ampped harmonica.

RIP ROCKY SAVINO 4/7/20

Rocky Savino passed away april 7 2020. Rip Brother Rip Bobby Guida as well

I met Mr. Snooky Pryor in his final years, when he could no longer play. He became a friend, and I loved listening to his stories. Wish I could have known him in his prime.

GREAT STUFF SNOOKY !

sorry to hear that brother

Snooky's choice and take on this is way cool - and his soloing so precisely on the upper 8,9,10 end of the harp - where angels and wannabees (rightly) fear to tread - is superb

Great Drums.

On October 19th 2006 which was 12 years ago on this day.We lost a great Blues musician.RIP Snooky Pryor.

The real deal.... thanx for posting.

Rocky "Jr" Savino is the man!

Sounds good!

Can you believe it's been 10 years Snooky Pryor left us.His music still lives on.

The Late Great Snooky Pryor!

HI!! I was lucky enough to play drums for Snooky a time or two!! Will never forget it!!

Joe and Ray were both of my teachers. One lovelier than the next. First pro gig was sitting in with Ray at Sonny's. Ambassadors of jazz, and fun.

I know Snooky has a show filmed from the Chicago Blues fest but where it's at is beyond me. I know this because I seen it, he's playing with the House Rockers and it's great!!!

Snooky is the boss when it comes down to the Chicago harp sound. After all he was the one that put it there in the first place.

Great post !!! One of Joe Monk's students, Peter Rogine, has been my Guitar instructor for a number of years. I'd love to see anything that Joe produced on paper, if you're willing to share them.

Jim B I do have arrangements -I suppose you have everything available on the Joe Monk website - if not start there and I will check it against what I have in my books

Joe Monk and Billy Bauer were the two best teachers I ever met and that includes grade school ,high school and college. Joe was great with students and could get you playing what you wanted to play ..........I could go on but here's the thing - Every lesson I took with Joe he wrote out the arrangement or theory lesson during the session - fast and neat with hardly ever a mistake scratched out. I used to ask for a song and he would put down a great arrangement and then teach ME how to play it - no mean feat !!!!

Absolutely sharp!, They play great & I love Snooky's singing & harp phrases. Too bad the person recording it didn't get the [vocals outfront], ha, my typical complaint, Josh Holliday, Orlando, FL.

Great harp player and wonderful singer.

Wonderful! <3

Great stuff... Eddie Lee is the TOPS!!!

BADASS!!!!!

Cool. I'm gonna have to start doing this song myself.
