[Harp-L] Michael Bloomfield's Bio



     In addition to the bio and videos previously mentioned here, there was a small book written by Michael and someone named S. Summerville titled "Me And Big Joe". It appeared in 1980, published by RE/SEARCH Productions, 20 Romolo #8, San Francisco, CA 94133. The ISBN number is 0-940642-00-X. 
     It's the story of his road adventures with bluesman Big Joe Williams in the early Sixties, and relates some hilarious as a well as some horrible times in their travels together, when Joe introduced him to various people he knew, including Tampa Red, Kokomo Arnold, Tommy McClennan, Lightning Hopkins, and harp players Jazz Gillum and Rice Miller (SBW II).  
     Charlie Musselwhite is mentioned briefly as being a companion on one of their many trips to funky out-of-the-way places, but apparently this all happened before Michael met up with Butterfield. I found a copy of this little gem in a used book store many years ago.
