This week on Time Signatures with Jim Ervin, join Erv as he ‘travels’ to Clarksdale, Mississippi for a fun chat with another legendary Bluesman, Deak Harp. Deak traveled up and down the east coast in his early life, following the James Cotton Band and that dedication turned into an opportunity to drive Cotton’s bus. But it also allowed Deak to get to know James on a personal level, and ultimately he got a chance to be on stage with him. These days, you will find Deak working at his world famous ‘Deak’s Mississippi Saxophone & Blues Emporium’, where he performs custom builds on Hohner Harmonicas.  Oh, and if you do drop in to 13 3rd Street, ya just might run into the likes of Charlie Musselwhite, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top fame, or a host of other incredible harmonicists who just drop by for a chat and some music. Want a custom harp for yourself? Lessons?  Yeah, he offers those, too! It’s a fun chat, so don’t miss it.
