Alonzo "Lonnie" Jonhson, born in New Orleans in the final months of the 19th century, pioneered note-by-note guitar solos, an influence that rippled through the 20th century. The erstwhile tin can banger - who also learned to play the violin, piano, banjo and mandolin - ended up playing with the likes of Bessie Smith, Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong.

Happy belated #bluesdaytuesday ! Here’s a quick snippet of “Careless Love”, one of my favorite blues tunes. It’s one of those chestnuts that’s been covered a ton by jazz and blues artists. My favorite is by Lonnie Johnson. Another one to work into the repertoire. I’m playing an old 60s gretsch that is hard AF to ply currently but is also super vibey into a 1970RK supro amp with an obscure trem pedal. #blues #jazzblues #lonniejohnson #roots #rootsmusician #gretschguitar #suproamp #1970rksupro #baltimore #thebmorecreatives #baltimoremusic #baltimoreblues #bluesdaytuesday #tuesdaybluesday #carelesslove (at Baltimore, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4grxdFnzkX/?igshid=ujq832rs9q1w

Posted @withrepost • @figgerswireless Did you ever enjoy water gun fights as a kid? Well, meet Lonnie Johnson, the man that gave us the most famous water gun — the Super Soaker. Lonnie wasn’t a toymaker, he was actually an Aerospace Engineer for NASA with a resume boasting a stint with the US Air Force, work on the Galileo Jupiter probe and Mars Observer project, and more than 40 patents. Yes, he is also working on the Johnson Thermoelectric Energy Converter (JTEC) which converts heat directly into electricity — but it’s the squirt gun he created that has given us all the most joy. www.Figgers.com | Link In Bio #FiggersWireless #FiggersCommunication #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackInventors #lonniejohnson #acrazydream #create (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bty1mEBAMOP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cf8sbom5j34m
