Revered blues musician Sherman Holmes makes a special appearance on 's 900th episode, recorded live at the Culture Center Theater in Charleston, W.Va., Holmes spent his formative musical years playing a mix of gospel, R&B and rock 'n' roll with his brother Wendell Holmes and his like-a-brother Willie "Popsy" Dixon. Although recent years saw the tragic passing of both of his kin, Holmes has returned to the musical forefront at the age of 77 with his first solo recording, one that is dedicated to his brothers' memories.
