At the time of Armstrong's death there was word going around that his heirs were trying to get the bible back, that it had been used to pay off some debts.  I won't mention names, because i cannot confirm if this was true - and I don't know if it was ever resolved.  Someone would probably need to contact Howard's spouse (I've forgotten her name).

Japenese version of House of the Rising Sun by Chiaki Naomi

Ang?lique Kidjo singing Summertime in, I think, in Yoruba.

I know that Summertime isn't really Country Blues, but I really like this clip.

Japenese version of House of the Rising Sun by Chiaki Naomi

There is a great tradition of Japanese vocal music.
iTunes has the record Japan: Traditional Vocal & Instrumental Music on the Nonesuch Explorer Series
with the great Ayako Handa, one of the great singers period! I challenge you not to be deeply moved by her performence here. Talk about soul!

Added Japan: Traditional Vocal & Instrumental Music that you recommended Mr. O'Muck after listening to Handa on YouTube to my already long laundry list of CDs that I want to purchase at some point in time.

Work at home, but have been busy trying to meet a heavy deadline.  Listened to your music from your MySpace page to help things speed along & it worked.

May or may not be of interest but a modern era guy doing a post-war blues song on piano of all things!!! 

Michael Hurley doing Lightning Hopkins Lonesome Graveyard as the last song of his show at First Unitarian Church in Philadelphia.

Thanks Sam, I'm a Michael Hurley & Holy Modal Rounders (& their general schtick) fan from way back, that's really, really good deep piano playing IMO

PS my avatar lusts after your avatar but is too shy and generally shagged-out from carting a giant packet of biscuits around in the pouring rain to invite her out.

I think this guy is just a college student but man he knocks me out.

  Keep you Light Trimmed and Burning

  Hard Time Killing Floor

Warning: you *must* watch all 3 minutes and 5 seconds of this video. If you give up before 2:30, no good.
