Yes, the man's a legend. Let me ask you, have you heard the 78's by any chance. I have a buddy who collects and he swears that the old Bluesway, Vocalions etc. sound much more real on this old blues stuff. I just picked up a couple of Le Roi Du Blues, which is a French label that re-issues real rare stuff; at an estate sale. One is Bukka White,"Rare and Unissued", and Little Walter,"Southern Feeling". The sound is nice for transfers. The Little Walter is some things I have never heard and I am a fan. His backup is Robert Lockwood Jr. and Buddy Guy, Laffeayette Leake on Keyboards and Willie Dixon on bass with Fred Below drums. All recorded in 1952-55. They had Muddy on a copy of " Down On Stovalls Plantation"< but some one beat me to it! There is a new re-issue of Robert Johnson I see in the record sites supposedly super audio re-mastered. Any word on those?

My lab partner is from Bengali. For a year I asked questions about his home and he was very gracious about answering. One day we were at lunch and he made a confession. He and his extended family of untold nos. of people all saved up money back in India and went out and bought an old Fender Stratocaster. Evidently they were expensive over there. They took turns playing it, their favorite artist, Jimi Hendrix. They had a radio station there that played all rock from the 70's. The global village.
