Subject: RE: The Return of Blake Madison
"Well, what do I recall about Three Hands, the Triangle Man, put yoah hypoteneuse up against the square of my two sides, mama? Hmm, Graduated magna cum magnum from Parchman Farm, played on street corners with Seriously Disabled Nectarine Smith, took up with Muddy Waters black sheep brother, Bottled Waters, made the trip north in 41 and missed the Chicago stop and found himself in Elk Crotch, Saskatchewan. Set himself up as the blues king of Saskatchewan, recorded "Goin' Against the Grain Blues", went back down to the South, found the crossroads, sold his soul for the ability to snake-play the guitar and three rooms of carpeting, then went into the record business operating out of his mom's decrepit old furniture store and his father's tax haven in the Cayman Islands. Now worth about 6 billion dollars. Typical hardass blues story, nothing special. Why?"
