Mr.OMuck:
A great Loss. his compilation records on RBF and his books were a big part of what opened up this world to me.

Parlor Picker:
Several years ago, Sam Charters was a guest on Charlie Gillett's programme to promote his book "The day is so long and the wages so small". I won a copy in a phone-in competition and Mr. Charters incribed it to me personally, which I was not expecting and thought was a nice touch.

Sorry to hear of the passing of this pioneering researcher and scholar.

Prof Scratchy:
Purchased in the early 60s, The Country Blues was my introduction to this music.

Bunker Hill:
Here's something I scanned 17 years ago (originally in old fashioned Word) for one of the now defunct blues discussion groups. Now "saved as" PDF.
