After broadcasting freeform music live on WCBN 88.3 FM Ann Arbor from 2002-2006, I'm taking my obsession with sharing music mixes online. A new bite-sized mix available every week, with playlists and more on this blog.

Two cheeseburgers, apple pie, a cigarette and a pretty girl
The Mississippi Delta Blues lost one of its legends last week when Pinetop Perkins passed away. He was the oldest artist to win a Grammy and was still performing this year at age 97 with his incredible piano personality and simple, sweet appreciation for life. It's quite sad to see him gone, but reassuring to know that his legend lives on in the decades of music that he's inspired. Check out the links and three great tunes below.
