Otis Rush - "I Can't Quit You Baby." - This is What It's All About!

I keep stumbling upon these incredible gems on Youtube. Check out this vintage clip of Otis Rush in fine form.  There are so many things to enjoy about this performance I don't know where to begin.

I was initially baffled as to what model guitar he was playing then I noticed the frequensator tailpiece and realized it is an Epiphone Riviera (w/ mini-humbuckers) that has had the headstock trimmed down a bit.

I am continually impressed by these early players who overcame the lack of left-handed guitar models by learning to play the instrument upside down!
