On Saturday, we lost Clyde Stubblefield at age 73 to kidney failure.

Although he was a towering genius who made an incalculable contribution to modern music,

Clyde died with little in the way of finances and had no insurance.

In a little bit, I'm going to replay my conversation with Clyde from last year.

But before that, I'll call his good friend Joey Banks, who will let us know about a GoFundMe page

that's been set up in Clyde's name. And that's designed to take the financial burdens of his

funeral expenses off of the shoulders of his loved ones.

If you've benefited from the massive gifts that Clyde shared with the world, then I would

encourage you to give something back. I'm here with Clyde's good friend and protege, Joey Banks.

Joey, how's it going?

It's going okay, man.

Thanks for having me on the show.

Thanks for being here.

So, Tommy, how did you meet Clyde?

I met Clyde as a youth, as a young drummer in Madison,

at a local blues jam in Madison,

a bar called Cloak de Wash in just a little bit over 16 years old

so just a young kid getting ready to get pretty much getting into the local scene and he heard me play

and from that point I don't really just have positive things to say and positive encouragement

about what I was doing.

I was marching in Madison Scouts at that time, so I was, I had a huge influence on me right

away from the very first meeting.
