Synopsis

Just like cartoonist Robert Crumb (to whom he would later dedicate a remarkable documentary), Terry Zwigoff collects old blues and jazz records. That is how he got to meet Howard Armstrong, best known as Louie Bluie: a nearly octogenarian musician who continued the old tradition of the multifaceted artist,

capable of enthralling the audience with his violin virtuosity and his funny life stories.
