Re: [Harp-L] Cleveland, Mississippi & Charlie Patton

Well. all I can say is: "Gaaaaah".
When I listen to this I am reminded of the time when I was a tack  
welder at the Dravo ship repair yard in NOLa. I used to wear a Sony  
radio the size of a pack of cigarettes duct taped to my hard hat and  
listen to Delta blues all day. It shut out the din of the ship yard.

When I hear this I am reminded of one Alain Toussant, and the  
delivery is very much like one Matt Rebenek. Now I know a lot of  
musicians don't like to be compared to other musicians. but I don't  
mean any disrespect here because Matt is like my favoritist Delta  
blues artist.

In the words of the most interesting man in the world. "I don't often  
listen to blues, but when I do, it's Delta blues".

Just goes to show that a young boy from Tuscania can have as much  
soul as anyone.
