Mdog & DittyWa — all duely noted. I've got a number of other books at home you guys might be interested in, but I'll have to check particulars and let you know later.

BTW, check out a link I just posted in the BLUES PHOTOGRAPHY thread. Bill Steber is great and VERY knowledgable about blues.

The slide show he gave was wonderful — most of these pictures and lots more, plus a live diddly-bo demonstration and lots of really obscure blues to illustrate his lecture.
