Benefits to help bluesman
Wesley "Junebug" Jefferson recently of Clarksdale recently discovered that he has lung cancer, and the blues community has stepped up with fund-raising events.
There has already been one event at Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale. On June 6, there will be a benefit at Po Monkey's juke joint in Merigold.
If you can't attend the benefit, donations for Jefferson can be sent directly to him at 737 Maple St., Clarksdale, MS, 38614 (or just send a card or a letter letting him know he and his family are in your thoughts even).
