         My special guest on this week’s edition of Folk Roots/Folk 
Branches will be “PHILADELPHIA” JERRY RICKS.

         Four decades ago as a young musician, Jerry worked extensively 
with, and learned from, such blues legends as Mississippi John Hurt, Lonnie 
Johnson, Lightnin' Hopkins, Skip James, Son House, Reverend Gary Davis and 
Brownie McGhee.  After spending more than 20 years in Europe, Jerry 
returned to the U.S. in the 1990s and is now recognized as one of today’s 
most important and influential acoustic blues artists.

         I first met Jerry 28 years ago when he lived in Montreal briefly 
before leaving for Europe.  I learned much from him and regard the long 
conversations that I had with Jerry then as a essential component of my own 
musical education.

         During his visit, we’ll be listening to Jerry’s own recordings as 
well as some by his mentors.  Jerry will have his guitar with him in the 
studio, so some live songs should be on the agenda.

         Jerry will be joining me after 10:00 am.  Before that, we’ll have 
lots of other great music.

         Coming on Folk Roots/Folk Branches…
