Delta
Blues Symposium to feature guitarist
 Louisiana
bluesman and guitarist Kenny Neal will be the featured performer at
Delta Blues Symposium XII: Delta Diversity, sponsored by the
Department of English and Philosophy on Thursday, March 30. Neal
will perform in concert at 8 p.m. at The Forum, downtown Jonesboro.
The concert is free and open to the public. A native of Baton Rouge,
La., Neal, whose father was also a musician, grew up in a household
filled with drums, guitars, and harps. Neal absorbed the music of
his father’s friends, which included legendary greats Buddy Guy,
Lazy Lester, and Slim Harpo. Their influences as well as regional
and local traditions have shaped Neal’s distinctive musical
approach.
Delta Blues Symposium XII: Delta Diversity, is the 2006 installment
of an annual three-day conference held at ASU. For more details on
Neal’s concert and other symposium events, contact the Department of
