Famous Birthday Centennials Celebrated This Year-- Part 2: Muddy Waters
Southwest of Chicago, in Westmont, residents are observing 2015 as McKinley Morganfield's centennial year. better known as Muddy Waters, father of Chicago Blues, he was born April 4, 1915 in Mississippi and lived his last ten years in Westmont. However, when he was born, birth records were not kept very well o there is some disagreement as to the exact year of birth, but his centennial will be celebrated anyway..
The Westmont Centre is home to his performance outfits, his 1972 Grammy Award, Grammy nomination plaques and more.
Taste of Westmont, July 9-12, traditionally ends with a Muddy Waters Blues Tribute.
Right now, I am listening to Fessa John Hooks' Beach Music Reunion for 1958 and he has been playing some Muddy Waters songs. Hear it at www.beachshag.com.
Two of Muddy Waters' sons still play the blues and will be featured playing together at the Chicago Blues Festival in June.
I should also mention that Tom Marker's Bluesbreakers Show on Chicago's WXRT 93.1 FM will be expanded to two hours tonight from 8-10 p.m. CDST to honor B.B. King who died last week.
