Come, listen to the Bluesman! His old fingers are beginning to fail him, but he’s still got a song in his heart and lots of stories to tell. Some of these stories are true to life, others are likely tall tales, but every last one is rooted in the music that Willie, the Bluesman, has been playing his whole life long.
