Robert Lockwood, Jr. of Blues Revue We Remember features a nice article on Mr. Lockwood. A standout quote about his economic ups and downs in the music business:

Bad contracts and bum checks led him to try other jobs, including a stint in an arms factory and employment driving a delivery truck, but he always returned to his first love.

"I done quit the music business six times," he said. "I tried my best to live with the squares, but the motherfuckers run me back to music."
