He was born Hudson Woodbridge in Smithville, Georgia, United States. His
parents died when he was a child, and he moved to Tampa, Florida, where he
was raised by his aunt and grandmother and adopted their surname,
Whittaker. He emulated his older brother, Eddie, who played guitar, and he
was especially inspired by an old street musician called Piccolo Pete, who
first taught him to play blues licks on a guitar......
