My Personal History of the Blues: Part 2
Well, Leroy Pearson got my attention with Elmore James. I started to listen to his radio program every week. I made sure I was home and on time for the show. It was followed by a folk music show that played on Navy Pier in Chicago and I made sure I listened to both programs weekly but the blues show was what it was all about for me. I started to play blues on the guitar, buy blues records, and attend shows and festivals.
