Daily Almanac - March 27

[<pkrampert@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Blues singer, guitar and harmonica player Robert Jr. Lockwood was born on
this day in 1915.  Lockwood learned to play the guitar from his stepfather,
Robert Johnson and harmonica from Sonny Boy Williamson II.  He is still
active in music, well into his 80's.

Harmonica virtuoso Richard Hayman was born on this day in 1920.  His carrer
began when he joined the Harmonica Rascals at the age of eighteen.  After
leaving the rascalls he went to Hollywood to score movies, had a huge hit in
1952 with the them from "Ruby Gentry" and did arranging for numerous
orchestras.

Birthday greetings go out to list member Ludo Beckers, who was born on this
day in 1957.  A native of Belgium, he's recorded several records as well as
working with R.L.Burnside, Zora Young and others.  Happy Birthday, Lew!!!!

That's all I have for today.  Have fun and practice.
