Johnny Gumbo forwarded an article about the oldest surviving Delta bluesman Honeyboy Edwards turning 93.

Edwards' take on the blues: "Blues ain't never going anywhere. It can get slow, but it ain't going nowhere. You play a lowdown dirty shame slow and lonesome, my mama dead, my papa across the sea I ain't dead but I'm just supposed to be blues. You can take that same blues, make it uptempo, a shuffle blues, that's what rock 'n' roll did with it. So blues ain't going nowhere. Ain't goin' nowhere."
Jeff and Michael Dyson, founders of the Blue Shoe Project
