My parents had some calypso Blind Blake 78's that they got in the Bahamas in 1952. I carried these around with me through all the stations of my life until they disappeared from my house in 1998. There were some songs that I have heard other people do: "Run, Come See Jerusalem", and some great stuff that I've never heard anywhere else, like " Jones, oh Jones", "My name is Morgan(But it ain't J.P.)" " Watermelon Hangin' on the Vine" and probably ten other ones. I'm looking for lyrics to these and others by the the Blind Blake from Nassau, not the U.S. Thanks from under the "a" in China
