Jeff Turmes Interview in BluesWax (1/20/2010)

Last October, when I was on the Legendary Blues Cruise with Mavis Staples and band, I was interviewed by Eric Wrisley for the e-zine BluesWax. It's out now (www.blueswax.com)... a fairly wide-ranging interview. Eric basically let me run my mouth about whatever came into my head. We talk about songwriting, bass playing, Blind Willie Johnson, Cormac McCarthy, and Ohio. You can find it under "Blues Bytes" as"Sittin' in with Jeff Turmes". The article itself is titled "I've Come To Love The Challenge Of Writing Simply", which I find somewhat grandiose (did I actually say that?), but log on and read it anyway.
