I have a tape from the radio in which a guy, who I think calls himself Robuck Staples, narrates a scene in the old South (1940s) where blues singers would come to town in the afternoon and play on the street corners and then move into houses at night and would play and sing while gambling and good cooking would also be activities they all experienced. The recorded event ends up with a voice singing "one of these days you'll meet me honey..."
Can anybody ID this folk/blues moment which is on record, not recorded live.

That'd be Roebuck "Pops" Staples, patriarch of the Staple Singers. Sounds like an interesting recording. There's a wealth of his recordings out there with the Staples, and some solo recording. He died, I think in 2000.
