Some of the most eerie slide guitar/vocals up there with Skip James. His spine-chilling 'Slow,Mama,Slow' ranks close to the emotion of Charley P. Re 'signifying': to scandalise tne nmae of a neighbor/ex-lover, etc. Look forward to any responses re the early blues. Check out my book 'Railroadin' Some'(railroads in the early blues).

Thanks for the Arizona Dranes. She made mince meat of the distinction between sacred and secular. And thanks for the Sam Collins. I don't know who picks the avatars of the blues, but he's got to be one of them. Keep the splendors coming.
