When guitar legend Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads, it was because of the blues. And when the voices of the crowd at Wharton Center’s Great Hall were numbed by the first few notes of a harmonica Thursday night, it was because of the blues. The Muddy Waters Tribute Band, five members, all of whom have played with the late Waters at various points in their careers, drew an audience of all ages to the All Over Blues concert which kicked the audience out of the nonsmoking East Lansing facility and into the smoky clubs of South Chicago. “I’m very impressed, they’re doing Muddy Waters’ name justice,” Leah Bagdon, an English sophomore said. The first guitar solo of the night, which flared from the fingers of Luther “Guitar Junior” Johnson cut the rhythm of the music in half. Johnson got his musical start with Muddy Waters in 1973 when he played at The Stables, an East Lansing club no longer in existence. Steady Rollin’ Bob Margolin, guitarist for the group, said they have received a warm welcome from the community. “They seem to really be enjoying the music which is what we’re here for,” he said.

Although the East Lansing City Council elections are less than a week away, some students are still clueless when it comes to the subject. Many students don’t even known about the elections, and if they do, it’s because of a stray flier posted on campus. “I had no idea they were going on, I don’t even know about the candidates at all,” microbiology sophomore Lisa Debest said. Among the candidates, Planning Commission Chairman Kevin Beard; fellow planning commissioner Liz Harrow; Downtown Development Authority Chairman Vic Loomis; and two-term incumbent Bill Sharp. Two of the four candidates will be elected to council Tuesday, but the number of students turning out to vote may be smaller than expected. City Clerk Sharon Reid said she feels misconceptions about voting are partly to blame for the lack of interest in the election.
