A CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION
EXTENDING THE SINCERE BEST WISHES OF THE GENERAL
ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA TO MR.
DRINK "BLUES DOCTOR" SMALL, A NATIVE OF
BISHOPVILLE, ON THE OCCASION OF HIS SIXTY-FIFTH
BIRTHDAY.
Whereas, Mr. Drink Small, Midlands bluesman, born in Bishopville,
South Carolina, is celebrating his sixty-fifth birthday today; and
Whereas, Drink, a musical prodigy, who taught himself to play and
read music, has played the guitar since he was three years old,
starting on a guitar made of rubber bands and a broom stick; and
Whereas, Mr. Small, a fixture on the blues scene not only here in the
Midlands, but across the State, has also played throughout the
country, and in cities around the world; and
Whereas, Drink is a 1991 recipient of the South Carolina Heritage
award, recognizing his outstanding achievements in his craft; and
Whereas, Drink Small has also given much back to the Palmetto State
through his participation in the "Blues in the School Program",
performing and conducting seminars on the history and heritage of
the blues; and
Whereas, Drink, affectionately known as the "Blues Doctor", who
played the Midlands for decades, still has a very loyal and faithful
following; his performances bring a smile to his audiences and a
rhythmic tap to their toes; and
Whereas, he is truly a South Carolina legend and beloved by all who
have known him and his music. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate
concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South
Carolina, by this resolution, extend their sincere best wishes to Mr.
Drink "Blues Doctor" Small, a native of Bishopville, South Carolina,
on the occasion of this sixty-fifth birthday.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to
Mr. Drink Small.
