.....Texas bluesman Henry Qualls died December 7th. He was 68. Taught as a youth by Emmitt Williams, Qualls supplemented his instruction by making regular visits to Dallas to watch Lightnin' Hopkins, Lil' Son Jackson and Frankie Lee Sims in action. Through most of his adult life, music was an intermittent hobby as he earned his living ploughing fields and mowing the lawns of the Dallas elite. Found by Dallas Blues Society men Scottie Ferris and Chuck Nevitt, Qualls became a reluctant local celebrity. He recorded "Blues From Elmo, Texas" in 1994 issued by the Dallas Blues Society. Three of his songs appeared on "Blues Across America: The Dallas Scene" issued by the Cannonball label in 1997 and two songs were showcased on "Texas Blues Guitar Summit" released by JSP in 1998.... ...
