A true talent and game changer. Most don't know he was a masterful guitarist and whistler as well.

I wish I had some anecdotes to share, my guitar teacher was a good friend.  It was several lobotomies ago.  He was extremely talented. 94 years old is a good life!

Always loved his playing ... and the fact that he mixed it with just about anything except punk music, of course! He was a gentleman!

This is so sad, but 94 years is a wonderfully long life.
 
Does anyone happen to know when he last played and/or recorded? I didn't get the impression that he ever really retired.

I just checked his site: Toots retired when he was 91 years of age due to physical weakness.
 
Whoa.
