Cool, Krinkx...

Didja know that Willie Brown played with Son House???

Very interesting story... Willie Brown died in 1948 (I think) and when he died Son put his geetar down and moved to New York where he worked as a porter on the New York Central Line... It wasn't until '62 or '63 when a few white folkies tracked Son down where he was livin' in New York... The plied him with alcohol, promises of fame, women, etc. to lure him back to playin' the blues... That's pretty much the way it went down.... You can Google it up for the details...

Son's "comin' out" was at the '64 (might have been '63) Newport Fold Festival... I read somewhere that he was real nervous... I mean, yeah... He had never played to more than a hunnert folks in a juke joint...
