An article in the New York Times tells the story of a secret jail hidden inside a tobacco barn in Alexandra, Virginia, USA. The jail was used to incarcerate slaves in dreadful conditions from 1790 onwards. In later years, the owner of the farm always told his children never to go into the barn, but never told them why. Tom Waits will read the story and it will inspire his 2004 song Don't Go Into The Barn.
Etta James releases a new album, Let's Roll, in the USA. It will win a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album in 2003, and also the Soul/Blues Album of the Year from The Blues Foundation in 2004.
