You're very kind, Mark. I enjoy the challenge of decipherig difficult-to-understand lyrics. I only wish my ear was as good when it comes to hearing melodies, intervals, chords etc.

I was at MediaPlay the other day, and looked for Kelly Joe Phelps, but couldn't find him. I'll keep looking though.

My curiosity has been piqued by this song - I'll bet there are earlier sources than Blind Willie Johnson. I'm going to start another thread for more information on it.
