Glad I can be of some help. The good news is that most of this music is still available. The bad news is that as usual one has to look out for the money changers at the temple.

Hmmm. Maybe so. Either way, we’ll all keep him in our prayers. Thanks for the update.

Well thanks there BoxDrummer. For some strange reason, I think I might know who you are.(Actually, Joel is one of my main runnin’ buddies, an OBG (Original Blues Geek)like myself, and a fine drummer in his own right.)
It’s never ending, seems like one new discovery just leads to yet another one. When I start listening to some of the Gospel singers, I think “That sounds like…” Actually, it’s the other way around. Glad the music has brought you some happiness.

As always, your shared-experience offerings are a weekly highlight-thanks for looking back and setting thing right in terms of the appreciation those great artists should be getting.

Wow! These took me all the way back. Rev Billy, maybe you should tell the publishers of Blues Revue that your article is worth a subscription charge in itself. I’d be happy to pay for both of them.

Keep up the good work. I thank you and Amazon thanks you because of how much music they have (and will) sell me because of your columns.
