Daily Almanac - February 3



US President Woodrow Wilson died on this day in 1924.  Wilson was the third
harmonica player to be elected to the oval office.

Blues guitar and sometimes harmonica player Jody Williams was born on this
day in 1935.  Williams was a major force in the 1950's Blues scene in
Chicago, appearing on some of the great classics by Billy Boy Arnold, Bo
Diddley and others.  A royalty dispute in the 1960's left him bitter and he
dropped out of music entirely until just recently, when he began doing
appearances again.

That's all I have for today.  Have fun and practice.
