Subject: RE: where can i get memphis minnies music
Some of the finest versions of one or two of Memphis Minnie's songs - almost up to the level of the originals - were by the great British blues singer Jo-Ann Kelly. I saw her in London in the late '60s many times. She had a superb voice and was a good slide guitar player. Sister to the blues musician Dave Kelly. Alas, Jo-Ann dies from a brain tumour in, I think, 1987. A great loss.
