Minneapolis blues vet George "Mojo" Buford will be remembered Sunday with a noon service at Cremation Society of Minnesota, 4343 Nicollet Ave. S., Mpls. Visitation starts at 10 a.m. The Mississippi-reared harp blower, who played with Muddy Waters for more than 20 years, died Tuesday of heart failure at age 81. Here's the obituary we ran in Wednesday's newspaper. The family's obituary is also now online.
