"Johnny Duke" Lippincott is an inspiration to guitarists all around the Delaware area. Having Mississippi roots, the Delta-blues style of music is frequently evident in his guitar playing. David Bromberg, Johnny's mentor, said in the international magazine Dirty Linen, "If you stick around tonight, there's a 16-year old guitar player who is as good a blues guitar player as any I've ever played with, and I've played with some really good guitar players.

Together, these three determined youngsters have become the "talk of the town", so to speak, in the Delaware area. They have played at venues all around Wilmington and down at the Delaware beaches during the summer.
