Are there any of the original blues pioneers left besides BB?

You know, Don................It's curiously strange regarding your question. Somebody must still be around in Chicago, South Side................

Maybe Buddy Guy, B.  But I'm not really sure If I can
put him up there with the likes of Bobby and B.B....

I was never really a big blues lover So I can't actually say.

Etta james, John Lee Hooker, Little Milton, Johnny Taylor, Albert King,
etc.  These greats are gone.  Seeing how blues is not really a
genre that appeals to the younger generation, and with the new,
uhhh, 'music' that seems to be popular these days.

I worry a bit as to who will keep the torch lit.  I wonder if blues will
have to revamp itself the way country did?....  I wonder if it can? Neutral scratch
