Charlie Musselwhite was born in Mississippi and raised in Memphis and Chicago where he learned the blues at the feet of the masters. He has been a celebrated harmonica player since the early 1960's, and four decades and 33 albums later he is seen as one of those keeping the blues alive. He joins us on Soundcheck to perform selections from his latest album, "Sanctuary." Also on the show, composer Richard Rodney Bennett, whose 1965 opera “The Mines of Sulfur” gets its long-overdue American premiere this month at the Glimmerglass Festival.
