This one
probably sounds better. I wonder whether some of those Texas pianists may have arrived at the same place independent of each other. Sam Price(b.1908)was from Dallas and has talked about his early years at length.

Sister Tharpe claimed to have been influenced by Dranes and, of course, Sam played on many of her best records. It goes on…

I corresponded with her a few times when I had some answers for her questions. She was a super nice woman..God rest her soul.

Loved this piece on Arizona Dranes…there are no final answer on where things originated..the blues is a deep well

Tompkins Square is putting out some very unusual and exciting music.The”Fire in My Bones” release may be the single best CD I’ve heard in the blues/gospel canon in a decade.
