We are told to our faces often that though our quartet is one of the best that has been heard up here, they would like us better if we would "play the Nigger" - their own words - more... every day we are made to understand that if there was less refinement about us and more fool, we would do better... When I have about three persons ask for the [spirituals] and about four score ask that we dance and sing songs which tell of Negroes stealing chickens, I make no pretensions to try to please - Tuskegee Quartet member Isaac Fisher, in a letter to Dr. Booker T. Washington, c. 1900

And a reminder that Del Rey will be doing a show at Couth-Buzzard Books in the Greenwood District starting at 7:30 on October 11, sponsored by the Pacific Northwest Folklore Society.

One more: Orville Johnson will be sitting in with an acoustic jump blues band called the Jump Monkeys at Couth-Buzzard, September 27, 7:30. Two band members are recent Port Townsend Workshop participants.

Wow, fat city for acoustic blues in the Seattle area for the next week or two! Support these musicians if you can.
