Under the influence

I guess 90 years of perspective is helpful in playing the blues. Or so it seems to me while sitting here, drinking beer and listening to Honeyboy Edwards play. I'll be frigging dead at 90.

Later: OK, Honeyboy isn't playing the guitar as well as, say, Sonny Rollins played the sax in Chicago Friday night. Then again, did I mention that the guy will be 90 in June. It's amazing he's playing the guitar at all, plus singing.

Good Honeyboy Edwards CDs: "I've Been Around" and "Mississippi Delta Bluesman."

I'm sorry I missed the show, but my surgery is this morning.

I'm also sorry we missed Pinetop Perkins when we were in Chicago last summer.
