I had the honor of interviewing blues greats Hubert Sumlin (Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, etc) and Buddy Flett (The Bluebirds) for a story that’ll air Monday night at 10:00 on KTBS. 

Both men have been near death.  And I thank them for being so candid about what it’s taking to come back and how they’re using music as a vehicle and source of strength for that. 

Buddy has had to learn to talk all over again after suffering from a rare brain inflammation.  Take a quick listen here and see how far he’s come in learning the music he once owned. 

To help Buddy with his rehabilitation efforts, the Benefit for Buddy concert will be Sunday night at 7:00 at The Strand.  Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Sumlin and others will perform.  And Buddy’s planning on taking the stage. 

Thanks, guys, for the inspiration to go on in the darkest and tougest of times.
