I do not own the copyrights to the recordings used within this clip, so if it needs to be removed, I will remove it. This video is for historical and educational purposes only Since YouTube has expanded it's range to 15-minute clips, I decided to deviate from the norm and do something different. There are 50 Texas blues guitarists featured here from 1925 to the present. There's a few that I'm sure I missed but I have included legends from the past as well as some modern guitar slingers that's out there playing the blues in the clubs, the joints, and the festivals today. I deeply regret the omission of Long John Hunter after I had saved a picture of him.
