I don't know about this Chloe Richardson. For one thing, a blues man never calls it a harmonica. It's a mouth harp or just harp.
And Little Walter learned from Sunnyland Slim in the south? Slim was at least a generation ahead of Walter already settling in at the Windy City. Sunnyland Slim was a pivotal figure in the blues scene in Chicago. He had a club, an after hours club where blues cats went to when everywhere else closed up. A lot of great contacts between blues players was made there, it was a good thing Slim knew how to pay off the cops and keep his place open.
I was fortunate enough to see both Sunnyland Slim and Honeyboy Edwards before they died.
