  3. 21st century blues -- can an ancestral art form survive?

    <strong></strong>You can't find the blues on radio very easily these days, unless you hunt low down on the dial in the small hours of the morning.
    You can't find the blues on radio very easily these days, unless you hunt low down on the dial in the small hours of the morning. Same with TV -- a vast wasteland, as far as real blues is concerned. Record stores -- remember those? -- no longer can...

  5. Playing the blues in black AND white

    On a recent Wednesday night at Blue Chicago, a long-running club downtown, you had to elbow your way forward just to get past the doorman. Men and women in business suits &mdash; collars loosened, beers in hand &mdash; packed the place, barely leaving room for the waitress to make her way to the bar and back.

  7. Muddy Waters' home, Chicago bridges make endangered list

  8. Crime & Punishment: UConn's New Logo Leads to Controversy

    <strong>Wayne Winston has been in a four-year battle </strong>to wrestle leadership of the Bridgeport chapter of the NAACP, alleging financial improprieties on the part of its current president. Recently, he petitioned the state NAACP to take over the chapter. Coverage of this development in the Connecticut Post came to the attention of a state marshal who has been trying to track Winston down for alleged failure to pay child support to the mother of two of his kids. When the Bridgeport NAACP met recently at a city church, Winston got some good news and bad news. Good news: The state chapter was taking over the beleaguered Bridgeport group. The bad news: 15 minutes into the meeting, the marshal arrived to arrest him. Winston told the court his computer repair business earned little money. &quot;Please don't insult this court," shot back Family Magistrate William Strata, who noted Winston had been ordered to pay the minimum, $20 a week. Winston was released from jail after paying the $1,992.62 he owed, plus a $340 bond.

  9. Jumping at the 'Crossroads'

    Ask Jody Williams about Howlin' Wolf's legacy, and he'll rattle off remarkable numbers about the old Chicago bluesman. Not chart statistics. Measurements. "Well, he was a pretty big man," said Williams, 78, who played guitar for Wolf (a.k.a. Chester...

  12. Ben Harper, Charlie Musselwhite put their stamp on the blues at the Riv

    Ben Harper name-checked a list of blues icons such as Skip James and Howlin' Wolf at the end of his concert with harmonica great Charlie Musselwhite at the Riviera Theatre Sunday night, and their influences certainly could be heard during the two-hour show. More notably, with Musselwhite's assistance, Harper put his own stamp on the blues, at once drawing on the genre's traditions and expanding on them.
