Magic Slim Remembered

The Lincoln music community & Zoo Bar family laid to rest another patriarch on Saturday, March 2, with funeral services in Lincoln.

My new column is online here -Remembering Magic Slim http://www.thereader.com/index.php/site/comments/world_remembers_ magic_slim

Plus Joshua R Hoyer did a lovely remembrance of Magic Slim and his significance to the Zoo Bar family and the world-wide blues family that is this week's READER cover story!
