Slim, I am a major big time blues fan and I have an autographed Blues Festival Program signed by the great Willie Dixon!!! BB King, Willie Dixon, John Lee Hooker, Bo Diddily, Muddy Waters, and Elvis Presley are all from Mississippi! There are many more but do not have time to post them right now, and being exposed to all of that talent and all I can play is a damn stereo!!!

LOL

... he loved to drink, but unfortunately, it was also during his 'herion' days. He seemed to have a problem back then where he just couldn't perform without it ...

... the reason I was there before they opened, was I helped a friend of mine who was in the 'starting band' that night at the club ... as a 'roadie' ...

It was an interesting experience ...
