      I just watched his show at Horseshoe Tavern Toronto. my brain is still under siege. I am completely blown away, the last time anyone blew my mind this much the first time seeing someone was in 1983 at the El Mocambo watching SRV + DT. hours later and I am still saying What did I see What was I witnessing. Kingfish is incredible.
