Magic Sam and Zhakey Jake were two legendary American blues musicians who made significant contributions to the genre of blues music in the mid-20th century. Despite their relatively short careers, both artists had a profound impact on the blues world and continue to inspire musicians to this day. Magic Sam, born as Samuel Maghett, was born in Mississippi in 1937. He displayed a natural talent for playing the guitar from a young age and was heavily influenced by Chicago blues. Sam had a unique and innovative guitar style that blended traditional blues and R&B, earning him the nickname "Magic" for his mesmerizing performances. His soulful vocals and electrifying guitar solos captivated audiences and established him as a prominent figure in the Chicago blues scene.
Nobody over 7 years old should care about the mascot, particularly when there are cheerleaders and football to be watched.

So why not, in the year 2014 return to our tradition with a unique and original mascot that would help increase excitement for the in-stadium experience that ll also lend credence to our new leaked SeaWorld looking logo.
His soulful vocals and electrifying guitar solos captivated audiences and established him as a prominent figure in the Chicago blues scene.

His signature song, "Sweet Little Angel," became a blues standard and showcased his powerful voice and masterful guitar playing.

Tragically, Magic Sam's career was cut short when he passed away from a heart attack in 1969 at the age of 32. Despite his untimely death, his impact on the blues community remains immeasurable. Zhakey Jake, also known as John Lee Blakey, was another prominent figure in the blues scene. Born in Texas in 1918, Jake was known for his smooth vocals and impeccable harmonica skills. He honed his craft in the juke joints and bars of Chicago, where he became a regular performer. Zhakey Jake's music primarily drew inspiration from Mississippi Delta blues and showcased his deep understanding of the genre. Jake's recordings, such as "From the Hip" and "Shake Your Boogie," gained popularity and cemented his reputation as a skilled harmonica player and singer. He often collaborated with other notable blues musicians of the time, including Magic Sam, adding his unique harmonica sound to their recordings. Zhakey Jake's career spanned nearly three decades, and his contributions to the blues genre continue to be celebrated. Both Magic Sam and Zhakey Jake were instrumental in the development and evolution of blues music, particularly in the post-World War II era. Their captivating performances and innovative musical styles helped shape the future of blues and influenced countless musicians. While their lives were tragically cut short, their legacies live on, reminding us of the power and enduring impact of the blues..
