Thread Name: How was Mance Lipscomb discovered?
Subject: RE: How was Mance Lipscomb discovered?
It has been sometime since I have been able to find anyone to talk about the blues with, and since the Lomax name has come up, does anyone realize how badly they treated the guys who sang the songs? It's hard to believe that for all the songs the Lomaxes took from people like Son House that the only payment they made was a bottle of coke. Paul Oliver wrote a most interesting book "Blues like showers of rain" ? Not sure of the title.
