Atlanta Blues; Georgia (Half on My Mind)



My last chance to hear the blues in the USA? I hope not.

I was recently in transit in Atlanta, thinking about some of the famous singers from Georgia: Blind Willie McTell, Peg Leg Howell, Ray Charles, Gladys Knight, Brenda Lee, Riley Puckett, Otis Redding, Little Richard, Georgia Peach (Sister Clara Hudmon), Georgia White, Georgia Tom/Thomas Dorsey.
