I hope he did. I keep reading he had a net worth of about ten million dollars at
the time of his death, but I doubt it. How many living Blues guitarist can you name
that are rich? Eric Clapton excluded.

Considering how the music industry has cheated artist over the years from his
era, even more so black artists. And the track record of financial mistakes made
by most recording artist, I'm guessing that 10 million figure is exaggerated.

As sick as he's been these past many years, why would a multi-millionaire keep
touring? For love or money?
