Gary Clark jr. is actually not just an actor
but one of the best young blues musicians(guitar, vcl) in
Austin, TX(voted best by the Austin Cronicle). I believe he
also plays some harp.

One thing I forgot to mention - the interview part of the DVD contains 
several clips of harmonica player James Harman talking about music, 
even though he does not appear in the film or, as far as I remember, 
receive any credit for the soundtrack (I don't think he's identified in 
any way, come to think of it).

Also, I didn't recognize Eddie Shaw in his onscreen appearance (he was 
Howlin' Wolf's saxophonist), who I last saw something like 35 years ago 
when he was touring with Willie Dixon (in place of Walter Horton) and 
gave me the Wolf's calling card, which I still have.

I've got Arthur Lee Williams "Harpin' on it".  He moved here
to St. Louis in
the '70's.  I can't find contact info for him. It could be cool if
he came
to SPAH...
