Oxford, Mississippi has become my third base in the United States, right after Detroit and New Orleans. My friends Chad Henson and Allison Borders own a sushi restaurant and music bar called Two Stick just off the Square downtown, and they put me up, feed me and take care of my recreational needs while I m there plus I get to play around Mississippi with a great band called Afrissippi, appear on the Thacker Mt. Revue on Mississippi Public Radio, and play at the Two Stick with Eric Deaton, Justin Showah, Kenny Kimbrough and Guelel Kuumba. I write a column called Blues & Roots for a magazine based in Oxford called An Honest Tune, and I get to see the editor and art director, Tom Speed and Nathan Latil, as well as friends like the great Scott Beretta.

When I was in Oxford in March, Justin Showah and I made a joint production of the radio show with Jim Dees on his World Boogie show on WUMS, Rebel Radio at Ole Miss, but we couldn t locate the recording in order to post it on the website. This time we were determined to get some shows done, and we cut the first of our three Oxford radio shows right on stage at the Two Stick, talking with Ms. Lee, Mei the waitress, former Ole Miss pot former John Jernigan and other Oxfordites, sampling the delectable sushi and spinning sounds by local artists like R.L. Burnside, Eric Deaton, Booka White, Dr. Ross, Jimbo Mathus, the Taylor Grocery Band, Otha Turner, and Afrissippi, plus guest artists Kermit Ruffins and my own ensemble, John Sinclair & His Blues Scholars, with our salute to local hero Booka White.
