Subject: RE: Delta blues lyrics sought
Another good source for blues lyrics is the following:

www.geocities.com/BourbonStreet/Delta/2541/

It may have some of lyrics that DigiTrad doesn't.

On another note (No pun intended), I have been a blues fan for years, finding the blues the same way that most people of my generation did, through rock of the late sixties and early seventies. Johnny Winter, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, The Stones etc. I have since tried to find their influences and have become a big fan of Robert Johnson, Muddy, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter etc, . I had heard of Taj Mahal for years, but had never actually heard him. I picked up Taj's Blues about a month ago on a whim and flat out love it. He has such great feel. Fishin' Blues is one neat song. Do you know what tuning he uses as I want to try to figure it out? I really like East Bay Women, his version of Statesboro Blues I'll certainly be getting more of his material.

Good Luck finding what you're after.

Regards,
