        I just started reading “Crossroads:How the Blues Shaped Rock n’Roll(and Rock Saved the Blues)”. Very interesting read so far. I’m learning a lot more about the Blues roots players,
        and how things evolved. It is by John Milward and came out in 2013. I bought it for a few bucks on one of the online discount book websites. I think you’ll enjoy it.

              F.F.: Glad you are enjoying the book. I’m about half way through it myself. Sad to think of
              all the great performances that I didn’t get to see, but happy about the ones that I d did. Cheers
