has abstract	Lonnie Pitchford (* 8. Oktober 1955 in Lexington, Mississippi; † 8. November 1998 ebenda) war ein US-amerikanischer Bluesmusiker und Instrumentenbauer. Er war einer der wenigen Musiker, welche die Tradition des frühen Delta und Country Blues in den 1970ern, 1980ern und 1990ern fortführten. Neben der akustischen und der elektrischen Gitarre spielte er den Diddley Bow, ein Instrument afrikanischen Ursprungs, im Prinzip eine Gitarre mit einer Saite, sowie Bass, Klavier und Mundharmonika. Von Eugene Powell, der mit den Mississippi Sheiks aufgetreten war, und Robert Lockwood junior lernte Pitchford den Delta Blues inklusive einiger Techniken, die auf Robert Johnson zurückgehen. Pitchford trat häufiger mit Lockwood ebenso wie mit Johnny Shines auf. 1994 erschien Pitchfords einziges Soloalbum All Round Man; er ist aber auch auf mehreren Kompilationen vertreten. Er trat bei Festivals auf, verdiente seinen Lebensunterhalt jedoch als Zimmermann. Anfang der 1990er tourte er in Australien, Europa und den Staaten. Im November 1998 starb Lonnie Pitchford zu Hause in Lexington an AIDS; er war 43 Jahre alt. Er wurde auf dem New Port Baptist Church Cemetery in Holmes County beigesetzt, in der Nähe des Grabes von Elmore James. Auf seinem Grabstein ist ein Diddley Bow abgebildet.

He was notable in that he was one of only a handful of young African American musicians from Mississippi who had learned and was continuing the Delta blues and country blues traditions of the older generations. In addition to the acoustic and electric guitar, Pitchford was also skilled at the one-string guitar and diddley bow, a one-string instrument of African origin, as well as the double bass, piano and harmonica. He was a protégé of Robert Lockwood Jr., from whom he learned the style of Robert Johnson. For a while, Pitchford performed accompanied by Johnny Shines and Lockwood. His own debut album, All Round Man was released on Rooster Blues Records in 1994. Pitchford performed at the Smithsonian Festival of American Folklife, and at the 1984 Downhome Blues Festival in Atlanta, Georgia. In November 1998, Pitchford died at his home in Lexington, from AIDS. A diddley bow is featured on his headstone which was paid for by John Fogerty and Rooster Blues Records through the Mt. Zion Memorial Fund. His grave is located near the grave of Elmore James, in the New Port Baptist Church cemetery in Holmes County, Mississippi. (en)
