"I went looking for the names and the biographies of St Louis blues musicians and started looking at the traditional books on the blues, They are all about the guys in the Delta, Memphis or Chicago. It's like,"Well where's St Louis?" There's a paragraph here and there. No list of names, no biographies and everyone knows St Louis had a really strong tradition of blues."
