Furthermore we are trying to discuss blues guitarists, so since the other blind blake... [Blake Alphonso Higgs (1915 in Matthew Town, Inagua, Bahamas – 1986), better known as "Blind Blake", was the best-known performer of goombay/calypso in the Bahamas from the 1930s to the 1960s.] he is not relevant because he was a performer of calypso not blues, therefore is of no interest to me... why because he was not a blues guitarist, that does not mean his music is worthless, it means in the context of this thread he is not of interest.
I was and am familiar with his work because some five years ago, he came to my notice because of his name, for many years i have been a fan of the original blind blake, and out of curiosity investigated Higgs BLIND BLAKE music, IN MUCH THE SAME WAY I INVESTIGATED THE FIRST SONNY BOY WILLIAMSON BECAUSE OF THE SECOND ONE, who i had discovered first. the second Blind Blake is a well respected calypso performer., however in the context of this thread hi is not relevant. CAN WE NOW MOVE ON
