Milo's work here is done.



Ah yes, etaoin, it is good to share the small joys of this world with others.

But I am not done here. Not until I tell Branshea that "Sonny Boy" was a friend of mine. I sang while he played his harmonica in the back seat of a 1948 Dodge as we rode from the liquor store over to Big Mary's, back in nineteen and fifty-nine.

For several years after, "Sonny Boy" would phone me whenever he was in town and I would gather up a group of my blues loving teen-age white friends and we would descend enmasse upon a dirt floor colored-only beer joint called "Will Lewis's Place" where he played when he was on the skids in Birmingham.

I have some interesting memories of those visits.

Now I'm done.
