You couldn't get a better recommendation than this. BB's Lawnside Barbecue will present “one of [owner] Lindsay Shannon's favorites,” Henry Clay on Saturday, June 26, 2010. Not much is known about this artist in the world at large, but Columbia, Missouri natives and fellow blues musicians treat Clay with great respect as a high performance blues harmonica aficionado. Though Clay doesn't have a big internet presence, the Columbia, Missouri blues veteran has produced an album which is available, oddly enough, on the “Order Page” of the Bel Airs web site. The following quote from the Bel Airs page explains their involvement with Henry Clay:

NEW MADRID EARTHQUAKE by Henry Clay, a mid-Missouri harp player and force-of-nature, features David [Pruitt from the Bel Airs] on slide and National guitar, Dick [Pruitt from the Bel Airs] and Forrest Rose splitting duties on bass and Michael [Cherry, also of the Bel Airs] on drums. (BelAirs.com)
