Blues vacation
Saturday, August 06, 2005 3:22:33 PM
Vacation time! I'll be out for about a week until August 15. If anyone needs to get in touch with me, the best place is via my contact form at http://www.tom-muck.com/contact.cfm. This is best because of the thousands of spams I get. On my vacation I doubt I'll be going through the mounds and mounds of email that I get, but I will be checking my contact ticket system for emergencies.
I'll be a blues traveler for a week -- heading to Mississippi to go on a tour of some of the sites down there -- and ending up at the Sunflower Blues Festival in Clarksdale, Mississippi to see some great blues. Little Milton was scheduled to play, but died this past week. RIP Milton. 92 year old Honey Boy Edwards will be playing. He was one of Robert Johnson's contemporaries in the 30s, and has numerous stories of Johnson. Also in town will be Charlie Musselwhite, Sam Carr, and Pinetop Perkins, who is also in his 90s. Also, there is a documentary filming all week at the Ground Zero blues club in downtown Clarksdale by the guy who did Deep Blues and Last of the Mississippi Jukes. Ground Zero is part owned by the actor Morgan Freeman.
In between blues we'll be playing some poker at the Horseshoe and also in Biloxi upon arrival. Wish me luck. ;-)
