Muddy (aka McKinnley Morganfield) is best known for his unmistakable baritone voice, slide guitar and authorship of countless classics covered by everyone from The Rolling Stones to Led Zepplin. But, many people don't realize he started as a harp player. That may be why harmonica played a major role in almost every band he ever led. The list of harp players who worked with him reads like a "who's who" of musicians. It included the likes of Little Walter Jacobs, Big Walter Horton, Junior Wells, James Cotton, Paul Butterfield, Paul Oscher, Jerry Portnoy, George Smith, George Buford, Sonny Boy II, and so forth. And, you could compile a similar list of guitar players, piano players, drummers and bass players.

The Dennis the Menace movie.. Walter Mathieu and the kid.. can't remember his name.. who was the bad guy. reminds me a lot of that scene where the bad guy had lots of intestinal "fortitude" to eat beans by the campfire, to get down to where the *key* (to the handcuffs) was buried in the pot of beans..
