Honey Boy Edwards, 11/05/06 : David "Honeyboy" Edwards  was born June 28, 1915 in Shaw, Mississippi. Honeyboy is one of the last living links to Robert Johnson, and one of the last original acoustic Delta blues players. He is a living legend, and  his story is truly part of history. He is the real deal. 

Honeyboy was a part of many of the seminal moments of the blues.  As Honeyboy writes in "The World Don't Own Me Nothing", "...it was in '29 when Tommy Johnson come down from Crystal Springs, Mississippi. He was just a little guy, tan colored, easy-going; but he drank a whole lot. At nighttime, we'd go there and listen to Tommy Johnson play." Honeyboy continues, " Listening to Tommy, that's when I really learned something about how to play guitar."

Honeyboy's life has been intertwined with almost every major blues legend, including Robert Johnson, Charlie Patton, Big Joe Williams, Rice "Sonny Boy Williamson" Miller, Howlin' Wolf, Peetie Wheatstraw, Sunnyland Slim, Lightnin' Hopkins, Big Walter, Little Walter,  Magic Sam, Muddy Waters, and ... well, let's just say the list goes on darn near forever!http://www.davidhoneyboyedwards.com/

Morry, did a wonderful job of decorating the “blues bar” with Christmas lights and garland. He also brought an inflatable penguin and reindeer (there was this cool inflatable squirrel, I was told it was secret society stuff, could not photograph).
