I've been wondering what Fingers has been up to. Here's an article I found this morning

That's a good article, with some interesting bits:
Taylor moved to Key West, Fla., and spent eight years there with Buffett before returning to the Mississippi Delta.
"I learned to love it," said Taylor, a father of six and grandfather of three who's lived in Modesto for two years. "It's a very strange place and a very spiritual place. I can still see the people. I can feel it."
Very cool. Thanks for posting

Nice article. Thanks for sharing. I saw one of the Blues Harmonica Blowouts a couple of years ago at VA Beach. It was great.

pleaides: That's a part of the world Greg seems to know very well.
Ever seen him across the bridge in Delmarva (Onancoke maybe?)

It was so great when he was joining Jimmy on tour a few years ago. Saw the two of them in Vegas in '05 or '06. The music is so much better with his harp. .....sounds that make you go "ahhh".

I missed him being at MOTM this year. We did the sunset cruise two years ago with him and he was great. During his break, he sat next to us and was very gracious. I know he's had some rough times. Glad things are going well.

My part of the world. Grew us near Salisbury, and still have family there. Saw the word "Delmarva" and almost fell out of my chair. Not many people know about it, unless you've lived there.

Even I know about Delmarva, courtesy of
"Chesapeake" by James Michener, another great storyteller.
I sometimes wonder if Jimmy, in his travels, ever met Michener.
