David,
Click on the Delta Groove link below, and read about Bill Sims Jr's 
involvement in "Cadillac Records"

I am looking forward to seeing the movie. It is not in theaters yet, in the 
Burlington, Vermont  area.

Stay tuned!
Mark

Harmonica Friends,
I saw the film Cadillac Records last night.  The movie is destined to go 
down as one of the better blues themed Hollywood productions.  Jeremy Wright 
did a great job in her portrayal of great Muddy Waters and the Little Walter 
tragedy had me wiping tears from my eyes.  I really enjoyed the music but it 
appeared to me that Columbus Short (Little Walter) was harp-syncing to a 
recorded harmonica score.  The harmonica parts were extremely well done for 
both Walter and Wolf's short harmonica riffs.  The end credits rolled by 
pretty fast, but cited Kim Wilson and some one else, whose name I did not 
recognize, as being involved with harmonica.  If anyone else caught the 
credits, please let me know who it was.  If you get the opportunity, check 
this film out.  We saw it on one of the art screens at a big multi-plex in 
Tulsa.  I'm suspect it won't remain in theatres long here.  It was so cool 
to see my blues heroes on the big screen.

I think the New York Times review got it right.
