Bobby Rush and more blues than you can shake a stick at; Midwest Gaming Classic; a rally and voting; Milwaukee Brewers Home Opener and more This Week in Milwaukee!
Yuguchi is from Japan but came to America hoping to learn more about the blues. He finally settled in Chicago in the late 1980s. I stopped by the record store. There’s a blues sign so I went like, what is that type of music? he said. So I just picked up one of the records; there’s a Black man with a harmonica.
He has been playing the harmonica ever since and said it s not easy. I don’t know how to read it, Yuguchi said. I don’t know how to write it. I just play by ears.
