Honeyboy Edwards death ends era of original Mississippi bluesmen - The National

I remember about 8 months ago at my work we had a long involved series of discussions about whether we could handle a month long trip with very involved travel plans, which included having a 96-year old and a 79-year old oxygen-bound man on a tour bus for a week at a time.

Two days ago I realized we made the best decision ever.

Thanks for the stories, buddy!


This is about 2:30 AM, Honeyboy had just finished telling me (in detail) which kind of Orange soda was the best to mix with Sterno for a good drunk on the cheap. Canned Heat, baby.


Honey and Hubert used to talk about friends they had in common back in the '40s. Crazy stuff.


Here's the whole gang after the last show in Illinois
