Why has NOBODY (including me in an earlier posting) mentioned the late, great
Blind Blake. Many of Hot Tuna and Kaukonen's most enjoyable numbers come
from this great pioneer. He is one of the few old masters that Rev Gary Davis
praised.

    Unfortunately, late '20s recordings are real hard to listen to. When they
can be digitally rectified, there are likely to be some new Blind Blake fans.

    Meantime, there are good faithful versions by others. Check out Police
Dog Blues (a show-off-with-the-guitar song) as done by Ry Kooder or Jorma
Kaukonen, or That'll Never Happen No More as done by Hot Tuna. A guitar
picker's wet dream.
