Billy Joe Green has had school on his mind a lot lately.
The Anishinaabe blues guitarist, who says next year he’ll be 698 years old; that’s my spiritual age, is a member of the Manitoba Indigenous Hall of fame. On Thursday, he headlines the opening night of the Manitoba Indigenous Music Weekend at the Pyramid Cabaret.
Despite all that, he says one of his pandemic projects was get this learning how to play guitar.
