Well, MiziAzizi, there's also songs that are post-emancipation yet very much written and sung during the Jim Crow years, many of them blues songs...

Yeah, it might not have been about slavery but as a black man or woman livin' in the South during the heighth of Jim Crow weren't much better, and fir some folks a lot worse...

Shoot, still ain't in some areas... I was down outside Como, Mississippi two years ago with Tweed and Rev Slick an we were way back in the boonies where black folks was livin' like therir grandparents woulda lived... Lotta o' folks with no electricty, even and workin' on farms fir next to nuthin'...

Spend an afternoon at Ms. Mary's house playin' music on her porch wid some other folks and her kids runnin' 'round and she din't have no electricity...

Even got some piccures of her place over at Tweedsblues.com under "Como Cronicles" wid a piccure of me playin' on her porch...

Just thought that needed to get throwed into the mix...
