Last week, we wrote about trying to start up our own musical version of Day of the Dead here in Houston. In a nutshell, we want to fuse the Mexican holiday of remembrance with Blind Lemon Jefferson’s admonition to see that his grave was kept clean.
This Friday, I’ll be traveling around town visiting a few of Houston’s most prominent deceased musicians at their places of interrment. Let me know if you want to come along. – John Nova Lomax

Support the independent voice of Houston and help keep the future of Houston Press free.
Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
