Hi - I haven't been able to read him straighton or Joyce for that matter,
except for the shorter stuff... I knew Son House a bit; he was
'discovered' as you know again after the 30s or so, he was if I remember
ok, somewhere near Buffalo? Met him in Cambridge, the people I knew were
the people who were working w/him, Al Wilson was one, later Canned Heat
Singer, I think there was a Phil Spiro or Spero, this was so long ago, -

(i am also listening to one of my other all time favorite blues
musicans--blues-gospel, a seeming contradiction prefiguring Ray Charles'
melding of the forms-to create Soul Music--Blind Willie Johnson--
my daughter Covay Maria Nadine Chirot is named for the great
soul singer/songwriter Don Covay--perhaps you know his work? The Rolling
Stones consider hm the greatest songwriter and he wrote "Chain of Fools" for
Aretha Franklin--a great singer in his own right--check him out--
