John,
I for one appreciate your sentiments. Sonny Boy II was my primary influence on harp when I was just becoming interested. (Remember Sonny Boy Williamson Live with the Yard Birds? My very first album purchase!)
His mastery of rhythms in the Blues context was absolutely masterful, and his lyrics and wry humor hit the Blues right on the noggin.
