Pinetop Perkins and Dennis Donnelly
August 2001
Bucks Workingmans Pub, LaPorte, IN


This was the highlight of Dennis' three week tour last August covering eight states.

"This night was one of the greatest moments of my life! I will never forget it. Having the opportunity to play with a true GIANT like Pinetop reminded me why I do all this travelling and music."
"Pinetop is my hero - not just because of his musicianship, but as a person. Pinetop is a true gentleman who looks younger than the last time I saw him. What a man! What a sound!"

Special thanks to John Derado (center) whose effort was also "instrumental" to the show.

"I was scared to death being on stage with him, but he not only made me feel at ease, he threw me home run balls and had me laughing and playing my ass off!

Godbless Ya Pinetop!"
                      -Dennis

Joe Willie "Pinetop" Perkins was voted Best Piano Player at the 1998 WC Handy Awards.
