Today’s songs are from Carolina Slim a lesser known North Carolina blues player – great voice and a prime example of the Piedmont blues as it matured in the post-war era. Carolina Slim in particular borrows a lot from post-war Texas blues musicians. Both tracks here, Ain’t it Sad and Money Blues, show Slim at a stylistic crossroad – and one that would be extremely interesting to follow if his life wasn’t cut short at the young age of 30.

Great songs.
And NOW’s the time to go back to grad school — beats being unemployed and it’s a heck of a lot more interesting.
This is the greatest for the blues Man!!!
Thanks for your comment, Liz. I’m not aware of any campaign to get clopyralid out of gardening products, but I will ask around and see if anything is being considered. It seems there are two options: a campaign that #c6;for1es&28217; the withdrawal of clopyralid, or one that raises awareness of this chemical resulting in it being withdrawn because no one is buying products with it in – so market forces do some of the leg work. But it all needs to be part of a bigger conversation that leads to a complete rethink on how we care for our lawns in a much wider environmental context.
