Blues piano legend Pinetop Perkins turned 95 years old today.
He can't read sheet music and plays completely by ear. He was not educated past the third grade, and says he can't read much of anything. It's incredible he's still alive considering he's smoked since his mother starting buying it for him when he was nine.
