Yonder Come the Blues screening

The Little will screen Yonder Come the Blues (Carvin Eison, U.S.)
Eddie James "Son" House, Jr. was born March 21, 1902 (maybe). He grabbed up his suitcase and took off down the road one last time October 19, 1988. Son House in an American original…. a singer, songwriter and guitarist who performed with deep emotional power and conviction. Son's legacy is suspended between the secularism of a blues idiom and the sacred teaching of a southern Baptist preacher…. or as Son would often say, between God and the Devil… Son's impact on America cultural heritage can never be overstated. "This ain't no monkey junk."
