On my first trip to Clarksdale, Mississippi, I met an extraordinary man who is passionate about the Blues, Theo Dasbach, owner of the Rock & Blues Museum. I had so much fun jamming with him in front of his museum. At closing time, he took out his personal collection of 78’s and we listened to them late into the night. The next day, he took me to meet T-Model Ford in Greenville, MS. It was there that I had the honor of singing for Mr. Ford at his 93rd birthday party. I got my taste of Southern Hospitality: a huge yard party with catfish, corn and ribs. T-Model Ford’s wife, Stella, welcomed us with many shots of vodka!
