Let us now praise famous bluesmen: Buddy Guy is retiring at age 88
...
...
He was born July 30, 1936, in rural Louisiana, and grew up on a farm.
He made $2.50 for every 100 pounds of cotton that he picked. He left
home at 21 and came to Chicago on Sept. 25, 1957 -- which is his other birthday, he likes to tell people. He's made 19 records under his own
name and many others with friends and collaborators. He's won eight
Grammys, and he never took a single guitar lesson.

In fact, he made his first guitar.
