Hideaway's Visa Blues

One of my favorite blues performers, Eugene 'Hideaway' Bridges (pictured at the 2003 DC Blues Festival where he sat in with Larry Garner) was sent back to America since he did not have the special visa needed since he came to England from Australia through Singapore. A scheduled performance had to be canceled and he was in jail waiting for a flight to the USA. What a shame because he is a superlative musician and person.
