Lefty Dizz Concert History

LEFTY DIZZ (1937.04.29/Osceola, AK – 1993.09.07/Chicago, IL) started playing guitar at age 19 after a four-year hitch in the Air Force. Entirely self-taught, he played a standard right-handed model flipped upside down, without reversing the strings. His sound was raw and distorted and his style owed more to the older bluesmen than to the hipper West Side players like Otis Rush and Buddy Guy working in the B.B. King mode.
