Thread Name: Can white folks sing the blues?
Subject: Can white folks sing the blues?
Here's a link to an article about a white blues singer from Minnesota in the '60s that, according to the writer, sounded absolutely authentic (i.e. like he was black, from Mississippi, in the '30s). Topics of conversation: Did any of you know or hear this guy? What do you think of the writer's premise and conclusions?
