The first time that I listened to John Lee Hooker was after buying a copy of Blues. The title track was Boom Boom. The first time I talk to Mr John Lee Hooker was in Victoria B.C. when he was to perform at "HARPOS" CABERET. I asked for his permission to take some photos during his performance. He was sitting up stairs at the club and informed me that I was not to use flash to witch I was in aggrement, for the session I was using Ilford B&W 400ASA film. Available light was my source of light and B&W was the best way to record these images. From this session I produced a portiat of him that I printer on B&W Kodak postcard paper that I gave 10 to him and said send one of these from a different city to one of your friends.He was a gentle man and I saw him get up from his chair walk over to the edge of the stage reach out his hand to a lady who was standing aloan and heard him say " Baby I will Boogie with you".
