that might be a good call, o'muck.
i looked up spann on the wiki & it said he would have been 17 in 1947. some reports have him coming to chicago that year. others say he migrated there in 1946. from what i can tell the guy sitting at the end of the table doesn't look all that young.
mcclennan on the other hand would have been about 39 years old in 1947. also there is that shot of him walking down the street with elmore james, little walter & if memory serves, rice miller.
at any rate, if that is spann, he is keeping some good company for just having arrived in the city. (muddy left for chicago in '43).
i found that pic.
