I’m sure I’ve shown you these bricks before but every time I pass this ~ 1940s apartment I stop to enjoy those curved bricks at the corner, the glaze, and the general color combo.

Blues is sometimes a family business. (The Burnsides & Kimbroughs, for ex.) I’ve met Lurrie Bell’s father Carey Bell* and I knew Kenny Smith’s dad Willie “Big Eyes” Smith. *another of Carey Bell’s sons is a blues musician: Harmonica player Steve (Bell) Harrington.
