The two veteran bluesmen, who have been around forever and influenced practically everybody, are at Passim's in the Square.

Smith usually plays in an organ-guitar-drums trio, but the personnel varies. Along with Watson, this sounds like the week's best music bet. July 1 through 7, call 267-1300 for times here and at Paul's Mall...
