Archie Edwards

The good news: "The Archie Edwards Blues Heritage Foundation, a non-profit organization, is tasked with keeping the blues tradition alive -- more specifically, East coast acoustic folk blues. Archie's Barbershop, located in NE Washington, DC, functions as a museum, music hall and educational facility, as well as headquarters for the organization."

The bad news: Developers have bought the building and the barbershop is going to be razed.

More good news: The Saturday jams are moving to HR 57.

In typical fashion, I've learned of this late in the game. But not so late that I can't go check it out and that's the plan.

(Sorry for the infrequent posts - will be back in the game by early March - lots going on right now)
