Blues harmonica legend swings into Lincoln By Matt Burton Senior Reporter Lincolnites will have the opportu nity to see a bonafidc blues legend do cquo^LI his thing Saturday night. James Cotton, one of the most acclaimed blues harmonica players, will swing through Bourbon Street, 200 N. 70th St., on his “Take Me Home” tour. Cotton has been playing blues harmonica for most of his life. He first began at the age of 5, learning from his mother how to mimic sounds such as trains and hens. After listen ing to a blues program on the radio, “King Biscuit Time,” Cotton dis covered the blues through Sonny Boy Williamson. At the age of 9, Cotton got the opportunity to travel with William son , playing the harmonica and learn ing the blues lifestyle first-hand. By the time Cotton was 15, he had his own band, James Cotton and the Rhythm Playmates. Sam Phillips, of the historic Sun record label, heard Cotton and his Rhythm Playmates on the radio and had them cut a single. Colton’s band came to an end shortly thereafter, giving him the opportu nity to play a short stint with blues -M rm never satisfied. I always think of something I could do better. Cotton blues legend -1 9 - legend Howlin’ Wolf in Memphis, Tenn. During this gig, Colton met Muddy Waters, who needed a har monica player at the time. Cotton was a member of Waters’ band for 12 years. Since then, Colton has shared his harmonica talents with Paul Butter field and Peter Wolf from the J. Gcils Band. Despite such acclaim as three Grammy nominations and the W.C. Handy International Blues Award for “Best Instrumentalist/Harmonica,” Cotton is still not satisfied with his playing. “I don’t think I’ve mastered it yet,” Cotton said in a phone inter view from his hotel room in Kansas City, Kan. “I’m never satisfied. I always think of something I could do better.” Cotton explained that playing the harmonica is a way of life. “You gotta play it, eat it, sleep it, you can’t lay it down . . . it’s like being married,” he said. Normally Cotton goes on stage without a song list, but past perform ances of Colton’s band have featured blues standards such as “Got My Mojo Woman” and “Sweet Home Chicago.” In May of last year, Cotton was featured nightly when “Late Night with David Lcttcrman” did a series of broadcasts from Chicago. Tickets for the Cotton show are $9 in advance, S12 at the door. The show starts at 9 p.m. Court*' Deeds Continued from Page 9 nationally-known band) tunes.” You never lie awake thinking about them. So go down to your local men’s fashion store and get an applica tion — suspenders and a disco shirt or something, and some shades. Oh yeah, then buy an instru ment. Learn to play it if you feel like it. Remember to maintain an image. And for Pete’s sake, when it comes down to show time, and millions of screaming fans are reaching up to you, remember to play covers. Drunks don’t like origi nals. Besides, all reigjiing Lincoln musicians play covers -- though I have a sneaking suspicion some are in the music business to play under them.

Although the exhibit has many artistic aspects to be appreciated, it offers a certain intimacy to the fe male viewer because of its selected subject content. The great variety of this exhibit is obvious. It ranges from the newborn infant and mother to the elderly mother and adult child. Most of the photo graphs cover a 40-year-span. From the photograph of a young mother at the Woodstock Festival holding ha- toddler-sized daughter high above the crowd to the combined images of three generations of moth ers and daughters sitting at the eid est’s sickbed, the photographic set tings are unique. “Mothers and Daughters” was previously on display at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chi cago. It is open to the public from 10 a.m. to5 p.m. Tuesday through Satur day, 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 2 to 9 p.m. Sunday.
