Hello everybody!!!!(Smile) I hope everyone is doing well and in good spirits!!! I am once again thankfull for all the response I've been getting from fans of my uncle's music. Somehow I wish he were alive so that he could know just how much his music and legacy have impacted the blues community and the world. To answer some of your questions......yes D.N.A. testing would settle this matter once and for all but unfortunately no one knows (with any certainty) where my uncle is buried. And if we did locate his burial place would there be anything there to test. The closest person in the family that we could test to see if claude is really family would be my grandmother (Mrs. Carrie Spencer) since she and my uncle were half brother and sister. I and my attorneys have talked about this prospect and as of this moment prefer to leave this option as a last resort.

As for whether I have any musical talent........I do. I play bass guitar and piano. I and my uncle are very much alike......in many aspects. (I will talk about this later and a little more in depth). But for a long time.....I thought he and I might be the same person. I don't believe in reincarnation but some things have happened in my life to make me wonder. Especially when it comes to music. I am also self taught. I play by ear and can play just about anything with only having to hear it a few times. Like I said the simularities are uncany.......and sometimes a bit spooky. Well .......I'm going to have to cut this short.......I will be in touch again soon!!!(smile)!!!!!!!!

Thanks......Robert
