Hey just a quick blurb. I'm on a mission from God to meet Honeyboy Edwards. Out of the blue I ran into his name surfing the net and realized he is still touring at 92 years of age. That is awesome. Anyway I had just finished reading the liner notes to Robert Johnson's box set that my friend Dan had lent me ao I immediately recognized Honeyboy's name as the last living bluesman that knew Robert Johnson and was there that fateful night that he got poisoned. I checked out his tour scheduled and am bound for Somerset, Kentucky to meet him at the Master Musician's Festival this weekend. I mentioned it to Zip, my favorite harp player (he's also an excellent singer/guitar player) at our gig at the Luna Star this past Thursday and he said "well, you know I'm from Kentucky. I've been going to the festival for nine years" and offered me his hospitality there and an introduction to Mr. Edwards. The Lord does work in sometimes not so misterious ways. So I'm driving up Wednesday and will probably be back the next Wed. I'll let you know how it turned out. Wow what a fantastic opportunity. ALOHA Y'all Chance Gardner
