17 Jul 12 - 06:14 PM (#3377951) Subject: RE: Project: Ghosts of the Delta Blues From: GUEST,Hootenanny If you have been seriously into the blues long enough you should realise you are wasting your time unless you are just wanting to get some people to subsidise a vacation. If you haven't been there yet and sussed out what is or isn't there I don't see how you can promise a fascinating book. There are a number of books and photographs on the blues in Mississippi from a time when it had real substance and a number of good musicians still there. You can't write a book on wishful thinking, you are about forty years too late. Sadly. Hoot |

But kudos to you sir, you've already managed to get over $1000 of backing pledged already for your book. So good luck to you. |
