Ruff Stuff Part 1 of 2
This week's article is not a typical one, due to the fact that this is primarily an interview with Tary Owens, owner of Catfish Records and blues historian. However, throughout the interview, there will be links to various sites when Tary speaks of something or someone that has a web site. Most of these sites will deal with entertainers, and not education per se, but like I have said in the past, a good teacher knows how to make a lesson out of just about anything.
