Chicago Blues harmonica player Big Golden Wheeler died on this day in 1998.
Wheeler began playing the harmonica while growing up in Georgia, but became
great when he moved to Chicago in the late 1950's.  A part the local Blues
scene for decades, his recording career didn't really begin until just a few
years before he died.

this day in 1971.  Happy Birthday G!!!
