Holbrooke's mission: strip Karadzic of any influence by negotiating with his protector, Serbia's Milosevic. Although NATO troops are obliged to arrest Karadzic, they are not required to seek him out.

Tigrett, 47, has long been one of them. He grew up on a plantation outside Memphis, Tennessee, where he was surrounded by such music, and he sees himself as leading the crusade to bring blues into the mainstream. "I've been into the blues ever since I was a kid," he says. "The first music that I heard, the first storytelling I ever heard, the first culture that ever entered...
