Each year, a group of elementary school students shows attendees of the Chicago Blues Festival what they have learned.  Whether or not the next Muddy Waters, Lonnie Baker, or Guy Clark Jr. emerges from the program won't be known for at least a decade or two.  In the meantime, the kids are having a rollicking good time.  If nothing else, I suspect we will see many of these kinds in the audience in future years.
