Hey, Elmer:

That's all good stuff. I've been listening to a 2 CD set of R & B from 1952-53, back when blues was definitely a part of rhythm and blues. There are tracks by B.B.King, Lightnin' Hopkins, Little Walter, Howlin' Wolf, Big Maybelle, Tiny Bradshaw, Ruth Brown, Big Mama Thornton and Big Joe Turner, among others. And, I just ordered a CD by Ivory Joe Hunter, recorded mostly before he Almost Lost His Mind and was smooth as Velveeta. He recorded a song, Coming Down With The Blues that is one of my favorites, and I just have it on a cassette. I can hardly waith to get the CD...

But my favorite, of course, is "Blues jumped a rabbit and he ran a solid mile."
