There's a blind musician friend of mine still living in Memphis, Blind Mississippi Morris, you can hear him doing *Smokestack Lightnin' (mp3 recording)* if you click that clicky back there. It's him, with Slick Ballinger on guitar and Leon Baker on the drums.

He's about as real deal as they come, born in Clarksdale, MS. Can play blues like nobody's business. Today's his birthday and they got him a gig down at Morgan Freeman's club, Ground Zero, in Clarksdale, so it's a sort of going home thing for Morris. Big Man with a big voice like thunder rolling across the cotton fields. And he can blow the reeds inside out of a harmonica. If you like Howlin' Wolf, you're gonna dig Mr. Morris.
