Paddlin' Madeline is THE track for ever as far as I'm concerned - crazy - must have something to do with Kokomo's moonshine.....

This is quite a segue from the above video...old white men with old guitars echoing a similar beat...just found this today while looking for a lesson for stones...

I always wondered about the meaning of 'Stones in my Passway' The obvious though doubtless wrong conclusion would perhaps be a reference to gallstones but in fact a far better explanation IMHO can be found HERE

Hi Ken. Link Wray played a solo to my wife while standing on our table in the El Mocambo Toronto! That's when he was with Robert Gordon, met them after, nice guys as long as you can drink!
Best wishes to you all, John

I've been watching "Searching for Secret Heroes" from Document Records which is a series of interviews with Sam and Ann Charters followed by their 1962 film "The Blues" released commercially for the 1st time. Searching for Secret HeroesAn early album of Blind Willie Johnson, "Blind Willie Johnson - His Story Told" by Sam Charters was discussed in the interviews. One side is tracks by BWJ and his contemporaries (from a 1957 perspective). The other side is interviews with people who knew BWJ, including his wife, Angeline, who sings the hymn "Dark was the night, cold was the ground" as part of her interview. Nothing like BWJ's version but interesting nonetheless. Helps add some flesh to the bones. Blind Willie Johnson - His Story ToldI've also been reading Scott Ainslie's Robert Johnson book which references an early John Hammond album called "Mirrors" with some RJ tracks. I'd never heard of it before, one side is solo acoustic and the other side with his band. The tracks were recorded in the same sessions as "So Many Roads" and "Country Blues" and so the album is usually described as being unreleased leftovers, but it was released contemporaneously (?). It can be got for silly prices, but I've discovered with a bit of digging that the "Mirrors" tracks have been bolted-on to modern CD reissues of "Country Blues" and "So Many Roads" so you may have them already.

Rory McLeod at Glastonbury a few years ago.
I have always liked Rory's music since I first heard him play this in 1988 at a festival we were both playing

Wonderful performance by John Lee Hooker at Newport in 1963.
Sonny Terry, Brownie McGee and Mississippi John Hurt breathing down his neck.
Beautiful piece of film!
Shine On Michael
