Honeyboy Edwards of Delta Blues Fame Dies

David "Honeyboy" Edwards died Augsut 29, 2011. He was one of the great blues men of our time and he knew all of the big names of Delta Blues! What a loss-- he was someone to stop and appreciate. I have a link to the New York Times story below.  Also, I have uploaded a video of him performing.
