From email:

Hello, Joe Offer,
I really appreciate your prompt interest in my request for the lyrics to "Vietnam Blues" that I mistakenly believed to be by Skip James,after reading an article about Skip James on an Italian blog.
I think you are absolutely right.
Moreover, I have not even found any rendition of this song by Skip James online.
Thanks again and compliments for your truly professional organization.
Best regards.
Luigi

Hootenanny, are the Wim Wenders films in English or German? They sound terrific! I think the first Wim Wenders film I saw was Wings of Desire, which I think of as the ultimate Berlin movie. My favorite Wim Wenders film is the one he made about the Buena Vista Social Club.
