After attending the 1988 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, I decided to drive up Highway 61 to Memphis and stopped off in Clarksdale, MS where I met fabled Mississippi bluesman Wade "Straight Razor" Walton at his original barbershop jukejoint on 4th Street. Back in the 1950's before he got married & opened his barbershop, Wade was an original member of the Kings of Rhythm who recorded the blues/rock classic "Rocket 88".
