Pink Anderson

I was talking to my brother, who is currently at college, last weekend and he was telling me about someone who performed at his fraternity's house a while back. The guy was an old blues guitarist from, I think, New Orleans. He was missing most of his teeth, but still sang very well as he played songs from Marshall Tucker Band and other Southern bands. My brother told me his name was Pink Anderson. I remebered that one of the 2 blues guitarists for whom the name Pink Floyd is based was named Pink Anderson. Does anybody know if this is the same Pink Anderson?

It isn't. The real one is long dead.

Maybe it was the Ghost of Pink Anderson playing at your bro's frat...!!!...!!!

Or maybe he was Pink Anderson Jr.

That must be it!

Perhaps it was Floyd "Dipper Boy" Council.

I didn't think so, but he said he was really old, and I thought there might be chance. Oh well, thanks.

If he was a "Jr.", he could be as old as his mid-eighties.

I still like my Ghost theory...

I'm interested. I wanna hear Pink Anderson's music, and Floyd Counsel's. But too old to be on CD, eh?

Pink Anderson and son ("Little Pink Anderson") 1960s

Good catch, Melo.

So if that photo was taken in 1960, Little Pink looks to be about 11 or 12 which would make him, say 57. That ain't that old.

Thanks strats.
Little Pink Anderson was born on 1954, so he is 51. I think isn't the same person.
