Hersal Thomas was (one of) the finest guys I ever knew... We came up together, in Chicago... He taught me everything I know... He was the master of all pianists in those days... King of the boogie woogie... These rocks the way he would play 'em... Really sad he didn't live... Today he would be king... He knew everything, this boy from Texas... O.K Hersal this is for you, wherever you are - Dan Burley, Hersal's Rocks

There's a story at the Houston Press site about the unveiling of the historical marker for Lightnin' Hopkins.

Thanks for the note nd the links.  I notrice one of the photographs is captioned "Houston singer Diunna Greenleaf and her band Blue Mercy performed Robert Johnson's "If I Had Possession Over Judgement Day," which evolved into the blues standard "Rollin' and Tumblin'." "
