"But every good-bye ain't gone, baby, shut-eye sure ain't sleep
Every good-bye ain't gone, little woman, and the shut-eye sure ain't sleep
But I said one thing about it, baby, will you please remember me?"

"Don't Forget Me, Baby"--Frankie Lee Sims

All best,

"You hear these songs, and they?re incredibly moving. But when we talk about it as being raw or authentic, it discounts just how hard this stuff was to play and how musically sophisticated and innovative it was. There?s a sense of almost remarginalizing it by talking about it as this primitive music that sprung up in the cotton fields, when in fact, it?s incredibly skilled and impressive music".

Amanda Petrusich, author of Do Not Sell at Any Price: The Wild, Obsessive Hunt for the World?s Rarest 78 rpm Records.

"The blues is not a plaything like some people think they are." - Son House
