Noah Lewis (the great Noah Lewis) played cross and straight with Gus Cannons

The other man to track who bridges the gap between the folk style and lays 
the foundation for the post war blues harp is Hammie Nixon,accompianist to 
Sleepy John Estes.Big influence on Sonny Boy 1.Later of course but very 
important
