    Pinetop was living proof you eat at McDonald’s every day and live to be 97. Yes, he usually ate at McDonald’s every day. I was at his funeral, and they put a happy meal in the casket with him. He had been my friend since 1972. RIP ole buddy. ❤️

My brother passed 2 years ago . RIP Donnie. Miss and Love you ! He was in a band called Rebel Kind in Austin years ago.

    A pint of whisky and a pack of cigarettes every day of his life. Never ill a day of his life. Without a doubt, the sweetest man you would ever hope to meet. Died peacefully in his sleep. Beloved by all who knew him. Rest in Blessed Peace, Top. You are sorely missed by millions of folks. 🌹

    I have been blessed in my life to see Pinetop Perkins play live several times and have photos with them and it was a joy to meet him and hear him play Live blues at such an old age. This was in Chicago in the early 2000s he would play at Rosas blues lounge on Armitage.
