		April 20th, 2005 ~ A musical return to that fount of styles called the blues as we take a tour of the Mississippi Delta, and also visit kinfolk in Memphis, Chicago, and Oakland. We'll hear about blues roots and routes in conversations with singer Little Milton, Delta Deejay Early Wright -- famous for his "snake alerts" -- and at a Clarksdale, Mississippi, barbershop where stropping the razor to a beat is an art form.
