Heh. I just rememberd something interesting about how I became familiar with Mississippi Fred. I rememberd that it was a recording an old housemate of mine back in the late '70s had that I had heard. But I had forgotten the rest of it.

I can't remember what the context was, but my old housemate knew Fred McDowel. Apparently they spent quite a bit of time together for some reason for a little while there. (Don't know when that was.) But I remember she said that he was very partial to peach brandy or something like that. She had some interesting stories to tell about him, but I don't remember much more than that.
