My interview with that infamous drinker of aquariums is up at Pop and Hiss now. We talk the blues, the stubborn persistence of Southern regionalism, and juke joint drinking etiquette. I’ll be at the reading tonight. If you don’t know what I look like, I’ll be the guy in need of a haircut, drinking 60 ounces of beer out of a paper cup. If I pass out, be so kind as to offer me a cup of coffee, a cigarette, and a number for a cab company.
In honor of the festivities, today is officially, Obscure Sight-Impaired Southern Blues Day here at Passion of the Weiss.
