I'm happy to announce that Terry "Big T" Williams, blues bassist and guitarist from the heart of the Delta, will be part of my band at Hill Country Harmonica--both the Rooster's gig/jam on Friday night (5/21) and the Saturday night gig at Foxfire.
Big T has been playing bass with Big Jack Johnson for years; he's also a remarkable guitarist in his own right. Here are two links:

Terry will probably be joined by Lee Williams, who is arguably the best shuffle drummer in Mississippi. He's a young guy who was very good as a teenager--I played a gig with him 7 years ago when he came along with Sam Carr--and has only gotten better, to the point where he is everybody's first-call blues drummer in the Delta.
This means that those of you who come to the jam at Rooster's will be backed up by a real blues rhythm section, not a sort-of blues rhythm section. Same on Saturday night after Charlie and I open things up to the floor.
Charlie and I are very happy. Since Charlie plays bass as well as guitar, he's likely to switch off with Big T.

This Hill Country event of yours seems to be getting
better and better every week Adam.
Sick as a dog that I can't attend. I'll just experience it vicariously. Will you be filming any of it for Youtube?

Kyzer I'd be grateful for even 10 minutes worth.
