Publicity photo of Jean Kittrell with John Becker and Bill Huston who formed the Blues Emporium for a two-week stint of performances on the Robert E. Lee Showboat in 1978. Becker (banjo) and Huston (electric bass) are pictured wearing bright patterned vests, white dress shirts, and black pants. Kittrell (piano and vocals) is in a black jumpsuit with white halter neckline and belt accent. After the two-weeks of sustituting for the Robert E.
