At the age of 14, David "Honeyboy" Edwards left home to travel with the bluesman Big Joe Williams, through
the 1930s and 1940s. He also performed with the famed blues musician Robert Johnson with whom he developed a close friendship, and he was present on the night Johnson drank the poisoned whiskey that killed him. In 2011 Edwards was presented with a Grammy, Lifetime Achievement Award. This photo was taken at the Juke Joint Festival in Clarksdale, Mississippi, on April 16, 2011, and Edwards died 4 months later at home in Chicago at age 96. He was amazing on the electric guitar performing at the Juke Joint Festival.
