Well said, Mary Katherine. A lot of the feeling I had seeing Honeyboy came from the fact that he is the "Kevin Bacon" (as in the game Six Degrees of Kevin BAcon)of blues. Name any bluesman from the late 20's on up, and there is a short link to Honeyboy Edwards. He was there the night Robert Johnson was poisoned.   And the Willie Mae Robert sang of was Honeyboy's cousin. Honeyboy makes a great appearance in John Hammond, Jr's video - Searching for Robert Johnson.
