Willie Big Eyes Smith RIP
The Blues world lost another giant today, Willie Big Eyes Smith. We all know what he meant to the blues world and for those who knew him well, how nice and generous he was. The WCBS was honored to have him and his band play at our Street Stage this past summer at the Chicago Blues Fest. The crowd for his set was extended way down Columbus Drive where his fans could only hear the music. The Windy City Blues Society would like to offer its condolences to his family at this time. RIP Willie..! 
Super congrats to all those who participated in the 2011 Chicago Blues Challenge
