Welcome Mr. Slim. "Every Day I have the Blues"; "Steady Rolling Blues"; great stuff. Are you a piano player like your man, Chatman? I never saw Memphis Slim. Now I did know slightly a relative of his, Sam Chatmon, sometimes of the Mississippi Sheiks, and got to know him a bit at the National Folk Festival back in the mid-seventies. Little bitty man with a long beard. Loud singer, though, for his size. Had a fondness for Jack Daniels and women as I remember. We got along fine. See, until I saw Sam I thought "Sittin' on Top of the World" was a bluegrass, Bill Monroe song! I am occasionally wrong.

ANYway welcome to the 'cat. Theres hundreds of years of accumulated musical knowledge floating around here. You can't spit without hitting a jackleg ethnomusicologist or proctologist (sorry 'spaw).

Regards, Fortunato
