MDog — Thanks. Somebody else mentioned that book, but I've never seen it. I'll have to go on a serious forage sometime soon.

If you're into that kind of thing, I'm reading a great book right now called "Nothing But The Blues," edited by Lawrence Cohn. Published in 1993 by Abbeville Press. The writing is good, it has great illustrations (LOTS of old photos) and follows blues from field hollers to today's urban scene. Only drawback is price — $40 US for a paperback.

cheers,

david
