Brian Hoskin Folklore: Delta Blues & Genetics? (20) RE: Folklore: Delta Blues & Genetics? 08 Nov 07

I agree that Fred McCormick's assertion above that "there weren't many preachers" in the Delta at the time isn't very credible. Charlie Patton himself claimed at various times to have once been a preacher or church deacon.

Although I agree wholeheartedly with his more general point that the importance of the Delta area to the blues is a product of a range of economic, social and cultural practices.
