Today it's John Lennon's  birthday (9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980).

Everybody obviously knows him as a member of "The Beatles" and for his solo career, but, here at BluesCluster, we don't know how many persons remember he sometimes played the blues.

Here's an occasion with a one-time performance with Eric Clapton,Keith Richards and Mitch Mitchell in December '68. They performed "Yer Blues", a Lennon/Beatles composition for "The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus".
