Letter from Skip
« on: February 16, 2009, 01:56:49 PM »
There's a letter from Skip James to Tom Jacobson up for auction on eBay. If you have 5K lying around it could be yours. Includes hand-written lyrics for Devil Got My Woman. The eBay listing includes scans of the letter, so worth looking at even if you ain't likely to bid...
