CELEBRATING THE 79th BIRTHDAY OF MAVIS STAPLE



She is still around.  

When my generation goes a rich culture of rock and blues and gospel will have passed with us.   Mavis Staple has covered all the bases.



























Happy Birthday Mavis
You have made the world a richer place

  3. CBC radio Q had a great feature interview with Mavis Staples about 3 weeks ago -- here's a link (and there's a further link in it to listen to the interview):
