Blues singer, guitar and harmonica player Jimmy Reed was born on this day in
1925.  Reed learned to play the harmonica from his father and developed one
of the most distinctive styles in Blues harmonica, concentrating on bending
the high-end blow notes.  Reed wrote some of the great standards of Blues,
including "Bright Lights, Big City" and "Big Boss Man".
