With this sonic baptism, a mind-set and foundation were established for him to explore the realm of blues inhabited by the creme de la creme of Chicago musicians such as Waters, Howlin" Wolf, Jimmy Reed and others in that pantheon. Little did Scott know, however, that he would go on in just a few years to actually play with many of the greats of post-war Chicago blues. https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mo_JyallZQbert5igvje48SaiSyusk9Sk
