[Harp-L] Kim Wilson sighting

[David Wilson <harpoon_man@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I ran into Kim Wilson in the St. Louis airport yesterday and had a nice conversation with him.  He was in town to play at Harrah's Casino with the Fabulous Thunderbirds.  Kim is really excited about the current T-Birds lineup (featuring a drummer who has really "got the grease" as Kim puts it) and encouraged me to come check out the show.  Sadly, my travel schedule did not allow me to attend.  
 
Kim also said he just wrapped up some work on a soundtrack for a new movie called "Cadillac Records" that tells the story of the Chess label and features a lot of blues content and features Beyonce and Cedric the Entertainer.  Most of Kim's soundtrack numbers were Little Walter tunes.  Sounds like this could be a very cool movie.
 
Kim seemed in good spirits and was friendly and outgoing.  It really made my day that Kim took 15 minutes out of his busy schedule to chat with me.  What a class act.
