| Buddy Guy |
Don’t expect to see Charlie Musselwhite or Jimmie Vaughan perform live at the Grammy Awards show (8-11:30 p.m. Sunday on CBS). I guess there is just no time available, considering scheduled performances by the likes of Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and the Jim Henson Company Puppets.
Apparently, the blues these days just aren’t ready for prime time.
But, blues musicians Buddy Guy and Kenny Wayne Shepherd and singer Mavis Staples will be among the performers featured at the Grammy Awards Pre-Telecast Ceremony that will be streamed live from 4-7 ET Sunday on www.grammy.com/live and www.youtube.com/thegrammys. The live stream of the Pre-Telecast Ceremony will remain on www.grammy.com as video on demand for 30 days following the event.

”Giant” -- James Cotton (Alligator)
