Man, I just discovered this old boy from Mississippi. Where has he been and why isn't he well known. Wait till you hear some of the tunes below.  I've posted a few of his MP3 files below for you to listen to. Here is a link to his website. Just click on Mississippi Chris Sharp. If you care to drop him a line, here is his email address: driftwood7457@yahoo.com. I decided on a couple of his CD's that I wanted to start out with. I told him I would send him $30 for a couple of them if he would give me an address to mail a check. Here is an address he sent me.
