Thank you for honoring the late Eddie Taylor Sr., a great guitarist who brought Mississippi blues to Chicago during the Great Migration of the 1940s-60s. Several of Eddie's children are active in music today: Larry Taylor, blues singer and drummer, who played with Eddie in the 1970s and 80s; Tim Taylor, a drummer; Demetria, Brenda and Edna, singers. See Larry's website at www.larrytaylorbluesnsoul.com
He hopes to come perform in Mississippi.
