Sent to me today. Copied from Harp-L:
One more time; if you happen to be a Chicagoland blues harmonica player,
Kim Wilson is conducting a blues harp clinic next Saturday afternoon
(February 13th) from 2:00pm to 3:00pm at the University of Chicago. I don't
think Mr. Wilson does very many of these, especially free and open to the
public. I repeat: FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!!
Kim will be playing at the University of Chicago folk festival
next Friday and Saturday nights, along with a bunch of other artists. His
workshop will be in Ida Noyes Hall, just a few blocks away from the Metra
train stop. The building will be full of people playing
acoustic instruments. According to the schedule there will be a Cajun jam
session, a square dance, and various fiddle and banjo workshops going on in
the building also. Not to mention all the hallway jam sessions; bluegrass,
Irish, and jazz. Trust me, it's a good time. If interested, details are at
www.uofcfolk.org.

I met Kim after a T-Birds and Stevie Ray Vaughn concert in Jackson Ms. back in the 80's. He was quite a character. We all were under the influence back in those days. He and later Stevie came in a small bar that Anson Funderburg and Sam Myers were playing that night. Kim sat in but Sam defended his turf that night.You should have seen Stevie enter the place. He walked straight to the stage in the middle of a song and just took the guitar from Anson.He played for about 45 minutes. Incredible night. When i met Stevie ill never forget the size of his hand i shook.. very large. Kinda explains some chords.
