Phil Wiggins gave me my first lessons in harp. Phil's partner in blues was John Cephas, probably one of the most interesting guitar players in the blues. John died last year and some of his friends are going to have a tribute concert for him.
The single best week of my life was at Blues Week in Elkins, West Virginia, listening to Phil and John play and even sitting in with them in the jam sessions. I was deeply saddened by John's death and I wish I could get down to Hampton, Virginia to celebrate his music.
