Son House. Death Letter Blues.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MDCNbacVt5w

I saw Son House live in Berkeley in the 60's. He seemed really old and frail as he walked out on the stage but, as soon as he started to play it was amazing how strong his voice and guitar were. He was shouting and slamming the guitar like a kid! Lightnin Hopkins was also on that night. What a bill!

That's really something.

Also saw Brownie McGee and Sonny live several times. Last time I saw Brownie was at a free concert in a park in the 90's. Brownie was a great blues guitarist, love that Piedmont style!

You've obviously lived a rich and varied life tros.

Not sure about the "rich and varied" but it's turning out to be a long life, the last ex-hippy!

>55 tros:: It's also on lp, Kent label, 1967: Lightnin' Hopkins, Original Folk Blues. I hate cds ;) (I hate lps too, when it's time to move again...).

>56 Randy_Hierodule: audio quality on mp3s can be excellent from the lame encoder and a high sample rate (see audio software). Sure beats lugging around thousands of lps!

>57 tros: ... I know, that's what the kids tell me. But it's hard to shake a fetish ;).
