Pip Cowan Guest Speaker

Pip Cowan spoke to the club about his "Busking to Mississippi" trip, thanking the club for their support.

Departed early June arriving in Memphis the home of Elvis. Stayed a couple of days in Memphis, on the Mississippi in Tennessee.  Toured the Sun Studios used by Elvis.

Set up base in Clarksdale, the mecca for blues music

A cigar box guitar was made for and presented to Pip after following Pip's story on the internet.

Enrolled in a guitar workshop, which also had classes in piano, harmonica and recording.

Met some amazing characters, all die hard music enthusiasts such as Watermelon Slim and Deak Harp who set up a harmonica shop.

Not all plain sailing, but was a great experience for over a month learning about becoming a blues performer.

Pip showed photos and videos of his experience.

Would he do it again - Yes!
