excellent entry Shark, I look forward to the next five...
Have you been listening to the Public Radio International series on the Blues hosted by Keb' Mo? It's excellent!
You're next entry mentions Sun House at length I hope? After all he did teach Robert Johnson to play the guitar.

If you look at the top of the entry, you'll see that there are links to the other five entires in the project. 
Son House, who ho? 
. Yeah, he's in the next one, and in the one about 'Newport and all that Jazz'.
Sounds like an excellent series, and Keb Mo' is an interesting guy, but sounds like it's in the States...
If I'm lucky, we *might* get to see the contreversial PBS documentray series this side of the Atlantic before the end of next year.

Ah shark you must be an old guy like me that immediately thinks radio and doesn't immediately think 'internet'
Just as all politics are local - all media is now global.
you can hear the series (record it to cd for later listening from your home archives too, that's what I'm doing) just by going here
