She had this [barbecue pit] piled up full of hickory. She comes out with this two gallon can of gasoline & she up-ends this thing over the hickory... As she walks away from the pit she takes a kitchen match, strikes it on her butt, throws it over her shoulder, causes an explosion 30 feet into the air. Then she walked by and said: 'Be ready'n about an hour...' - Steve James, Port Townsend 97

In Tune: Charley Patton, Jimmie Rodgers and the Roots of American Music by Ben Wynne to be released in October
http://lsupress.org/books/detail/in-tune/ I have a copied but am immersed in On Highway 61, Available at Amazon and other booksellers as is another book on my immediate reading list Louisville Jug Music: From Earl McDonald to the National Jubilee
Sep 23, 2014 by Michael Jones So my escape from the Holly Daze is reading about the music. LucyStag
Yeah, I saw the Jugband book among the related items, and I am almost more intrigued by that myself.
In years gone by there has been discussions at Wennie concerning the progress of a book that Pen Bogert had been researching for a couple of decades entitled Hidden History: The Story of Blues in Louisville. I last had contact with him in 2006 but an email to him yesterday has bounced back.
Later addition I'd completely forgot about yet another stillborn jug band publication (1971) which eventually saw light of day only as an 80 page booklet. Attached is a scan of the introduction. (click image to zoom) Vidal
Just saw "In Tune: Charley Patton, Jimmie Rodgers, and the Roots of American Music" in Amazon and the reviews look excellent. Anybody read it, and, if so, is it worth a call to Santa?
