in New Orleans. It's also a fact that most modern music in the US
is a descendant of the blues. Names like Buddy Bolden, Jelly Roll
Morton, Bunk Johnson, Chevalier De Saint George, Dan Desdunes are
among the most important players in the history, not only of the
Blues, but of American music. Get his book on Amazon at Chris'
history is informed in part by his upbringing working in his father
