Sonny Boy Williamson II

There've been some great harp players but I've never heard or seen (on video that is) anyone like Sonny Boy Williamson II.  The mural in Tutwiler, Mississippi (Home of the Blues) is not only beautiful but helpful as you'll note by the map in the bottom right corner indicating where the grave for Sonny Boy (aka Aleck 'Rice' Miller).  I needed a bit more help so thought local historian Dennis who noted my awkward tourist manner and happily volunteered to lead the way to this grave site...thank goodness!  Blues harp (harmonica) players pay homage to this great musician and leave harmonicas and coins (which Dennis says usually get borrowed...indefinitely).
