None of that electric blues or polished too clean blues give me that Arkansas Mississippi Louisiana Memphis delta acoustic blues raw with soul.

Robert Johnson

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC4M4eQlz5I

Son House

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jN5vqEyV7g

Honeyboy Edwards

Knew Robert Johnson and played guitar with him.

Blind Willie

obviously a tribute http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obs73TqWbog&feature=related

Lead Belly

First off, I don't even consider myself a member of the general public. I know that my own requirements in a loudspeaker are those I've discussed. Judging from what contact I have with the general public, though, I conclude that 99 percent of the general public doesn't even know what accuracy of reproduction is. My company is for the one percent composed of perfectionists who buy these expensive speakers.

Robert Johnson... first came across that 2 CD set 17 plus years ago.

Way before that... Grandma introduced me to the blues on her piano. Unfortunately, my recordings of her are far worse than those on that 2 CD Robert Johnson set.

But you have them...!

To me the holy grail of lp searching is to find an original 78 by one of the early blues masters. Especially if it says Electrically Recorded : ) I likely look through thousands of 78's every year looking for just one.

I'm really glad that at age 14 I thought to record her on my jam box. Arthritis was already taking a toll on her hands but like you said... at least I have them. At her funeral, I passed out a CD of her music to each person as they left. I found out later that quite a few of them went out and bought a CD player just so they could play it... your welcome, Best Buy.

I enjoyed her stories of playing for the silent movies and still love to hear her versions of Basin Street Blues, Bye Bye Blues, Dark town Strutters Ball, Lazy river, Missisipi Mud, Satin Doll... WOW! Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

I appreciate the blues and the blues artists. But I find it like Reggae. Have a few drinks and its great for as long as you have a few drinks in you. I would rarely if ever put a blues or a regge lp on. I have a number of blues and reggae lps but I would probably be happy with one of each!
