If you were like me, growing up in the home of the blues (Memphis and the delta) and loved Ralph Machio movies, then you probably loved Crossroads. Cheesy movie, but fun watching Machio go off against Steve Vai. And if you knew a little something back then, you knew it was actually blues virtuoso Ry Cooder playing the guitar against Vai. I say Cooder won - and of course that was the plot of the movie.....
What I did not know is that Ry Cooder also played mandolin..... Hence Goin to Brownsville (which is not far from where I live now).
