Eddy Davis that bright light, never very far from his banjo, always ready to propel the band, to play the proper chords, to uplift everyone with song one that he wrote or a venerable classic moved on after his illness yesterday afternoon.

A different night at Mezzrow, but you get the idea.
Lets start with some fun: Fats Wal
