I saw this on BLUES-L and thought WE might be interested.

Subject: U.S. Postage Stamps for 1994
Comments: To: Blues List

The U.S. Postal Service announced earlier this week that among the 102
stamps to be issued in 1994, nine will honor blues and jazz artists.
Those to be so honored are:

B.B. King
Muddy Waters
Billie Holiday
Mildred Bailey
Howling Wolf
Ma Rainey
Jimmy Rushing
Robert Johnson
Bessie Smith

I note that all of the above, except B.B. King, are dead.

Nat "King" Cole will also be so honored but is apparently considered a
"pop" artist(!).

END OF FORWARD

I saw the Wolf and said, "YYYaaaaaaaa howl for me baby!". He has always been
one of my favorite harp players. There is some discussion on the BLUES-L
forum about putting Little Walter or Sonny Boy on the stamp instead. My vote
is for the Wolf. Not enough recognition.
