two months pass...

one year passes...

Made it to the Barbequecued Goat Fest in Senatobia , MS that Sharde runs. She and her drummers performed between sets of the other acts. I also saw Anthony Sherrod and his band do a nice set at Red's in Clarksdale, MS.

This is coming up in Mississippi (see below). I don't know of these folks-- the next generation of great bluesmen, Jontavious Willis, Marquise Knox and Kingfish Ingram
