My name is NORM REID. I've transcribed all 55 Patton recordings and want to get them finalized and published. Can anyone help me get this "CHARLIE PATTON COMPLETE SONGBOOK" to those eager to buy it?

Why didn't you just copy them from the Revenant issue of the complete Charley Patton Recordings where they are readily available albeit somewhat difficult to read because of the choice of paper stock and ink.

Why not stuff a sock in it, Hootenanny? There is always room for another set of Patton transcriptions--as no one ever gets everything right--not even sure if anyone knows how he played some of his stuff, technically, and there never has been anybody whose been able to capture the Patton feel--

Sorry John, I didn't know it ws possible to learn technique from lyrics. Must check those words again.

Now, back in your pram and calm down please.

Hootenanny, when Mr. Reid said that he had done a complete transcription of 55 Patton recordings I took it to mean that it he had made musical arrangements--as that would be the sort of thing one would properly seek to publish, and the word does have that meaning.

I am acquainted with several people who do this sort of thing--it is a lot of work, and not fair to dismiss it lightly.

It is also possible that Mr. Reid has only transcribed the lyrics and not the recording per se, in which case you would be right to suggest that he has overvalued his effort--

Magnolia Blues
(Charley Patton)

When your window gets dark, baby, (hang your lights up high).
When your window gets dark, baby,
(well, I wonder what's the matter with 'em?)
So I can see my Mandy come a-easin' (by)

I'm worried now, baby, (won't be worried long).
I'm worried now, baby, I won't be worried

Goin' away, baby, (won't be back no more).
I'm goin' away, mama, won't be back no . . .

I love my baby, and I'll (tell the world I do).
I love my faro, tell the world I do.
What made me love her, you'll come to love her too.

Got up this mornin', (I said my 'fore day prayer).
Got up this mornin'
I didn't have me nobody, speaking bible here.

Worried woman, (sing a worried song).
Takes a worried woman, sing a worried song.
I'm worried now, baby, I won't be worried
