Good mornin', ya'll... Ol' hillbilly kinda useless in this thread 'cause gettin' ready to hit the road for Richmond (Richmond Folk Festival) and then to South Hill where me and the P-Vine will stay tonight and then on to NC tomorrow...

But, there lotta really nice box sets of the old blues out there... One of the more re4cent ones is "Living Country Blues, An Anthology" a 3 CD set... Has the late Otha Turner (Mr. Othar) on the cover playin' a homemamde fife... Also recommend "Masters or Memphis Blues", a 4 CD set by JSP Records and one last one, "Memphis Blues, Important Postwar Blues", another 4 CD set by JSP Records"...

As fir what I like??? All ya' gotta do is look at last night's set list to get a clue:

R.L. Burnside's "Miss Maybelle"

Lightnin' Slim's "Nothin' But the Devil"

Son House's "Death Letter Blues"

Muddy Water's "Rollin' & Tumblin'"

During the sound check there was a little buzz in the PA that the sound guys were tryin' to find so they asked me just to play somethin' so what other than Slim Harpo's "King Bee"...

Now, ya'll have fun... I'll check in when I can but if ya'll don't see me then I'm...

...covered up...

Big "Hey" to Mizzi Azzizi... Good to see ya', sis...

Gotta go now...
