Do you remember Muddy Waters? Do you love the Blues? Join us for this FREE event at Third Mind Books on Wednesday, August 26 at 7 PM to welcome acclaimed musician Jerry Portnoy to Ann Arbor to speak about his new book, "Dancing with Muddy: Muddy Waters, Eric Clapton and My Lucky Life In and Out of the Blues."

Jerry Portnoy's memoir is a backstage pass to the golden age of Blues—from playing with Muddy Waters and Eric Clapton to life on the road, in the studio, and deep in the heart of American music. Told with the same clarity and soul he brings to his harmonica, "Dancy with Muddy" is a must-read for any fan of the Blues. Moderated by Jeffrey Pickell.
