Tunesmith. Ditto. I remember those Josh White programmes. They went out fairly late in the evening, and I even recall him singing the two songs you mention.

I was about twelve at the time and was too young to have bitten the blues bullet. When I did and I heard the likes of Howlin' Wolf, Robert Johnson and Fred McDowell, I realised what a load of puerile puss White had been pumping out.

Many years later of course I discovered the young Josh White (aka Pinewood Tom and The Singing Christian)and found he'd once been a different, and far more agreeable, kettle of fish altogether. What a pity those smart New York nightclub audiences couldn't have accepted him as he was; brilliant guitar and all.
