Hi all,
After finding Lester "Big Lucky" Carter's beautiful rendition of "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot", I was curious about him, not ever having heard or heard of him before. Evidently he was born in Weir, Mississippi in 1920, lived most of his adult life in Memphis and died in 2002. It's always a shame when you realize you missed someone altogether who you could have seen in person. He seems like he would really have been a treat to see perform.
All best,
Johnm
