God willing, and health permitting, Mr. Eddie “Guitar” Burns will make a special guest appearance with Living Room Blues Saturday August 7th at the Memphis 2010 Blues Festival in Memphis, Michigan. Eddie played with John Lee Hooker in the Glory days of the Detroit Blues Scene, a Hasting Street Regular. If you have heard Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom By JLH, you’ve heard Eddie play the Blues…
One of the last, Authentic, Mississippi Delta, Blues Men…………….

Just having a genuine elder statesmen of Blues (I think Eddie is 83) will be a delight. I can’t wait to hear some stories about the the Hasting Street district, and the Black Bottom neighborhood of Post World War ll
That drew a lot of the Southern Delta Blues Guys to Detroit…..
