Muddy Waters -Fathers And Sons

McKinley Morganfield (1915 1983), aka "Muddy Waters," grew up and worked as a sharecropper on the Stovall Plantation on the outskirts of Clarksdale, Mississippi. He learned to play guitar and harmonica as a child and was influenced by the styles of Robert Johnson, Charley Patton and Son House. His grandmother nicknamed him "Muddy" because he loved playing in the muddy waters of the nearby creek.
