"Every day you wake up is a great day - even if it's a bad day." Such is the wisdom of harmonica ace Jimmie Meade. The 25-year-old "mouth organ" master has been to hell and back after enduring a near-fatal car accident two years ago that cost him a leg. The circumstances of the crash - drunk driving - are something he talks about candidly in hopes of atoning for his bad judgment. Now fully recovered and walking with a prosthetic, Meade gigs full-time with KC blues/rock quartet Levee Town and teaches at Lawrence's Americana Music Academy.
Songs featured in this podcast are, in order:
Jimmie Meade solo harmonica (live in studio)
Levee Town "Trouble In Mind"
Little Walter "Juke"
Sonny Boy Williamson "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl"
Lee McBee & Mike Morgan "Sweet Lolita"
