Bluesman Bobby Rush was honored in the Senate this morning, and he jammed with Sen. Billy Hewes, R-Gulfport, who plays a mean blues harmonica. Hewes provided accompaniment while Rush belted out the words of slow blues numbers with traditional themes- lost love, bad love, etc., on Valentine's Day.
After the fun, the Senate could take up a bill aimed at a more open government, and there's the possibility that the House of Representatives could act on a bill to give themselves pay raises.
There's also a full slate of meetings today, as legislators try feverishly to get their bills out of committee before the deadline for them to be eligible for a vote this session, which is Tuesday. Many legislators will see their pet bills die in committee when the deadline passes.
I'll keep you posted.
