.....and the song about infamous Memphis entrepreneur Jim Canaan (or Jim Kinnane) in the fascinating, previously unissued Lost My Money In Jim Kinnane's.On a humourous note, I have ancient, fading photocopies of Mike Vernon's original BH session sheets. This title is listed as "Lost My Money In Gym Cannon". :)

...including a strong pitch for Stefan Wirz's discography site. :DAt the risk of causing Stefan to blush I'd say well deserved too. In fact in the forthcoming 2nd edition of Robert Ford's blues bibliography each artist or label entry - where appropriate - ends with a URL to one of Stefan's pages. So don't you dare move the location Stefan! ::) ;D

I don't know how much time George Mitchell had to prepare him for recording, but Joe certainly does sound more relaxed and at home.What follows are the opening paragraphs of Mitchell's preface to his book Blow My Blues Away (Louisiana State UP, 1971):
Stefan, if you ever run out of things to do (most unlikely), similarly sorting out of John Hurt's post-rediscovery recorded works and Robert Pete Williams's recordings would be an enormous boon for fans of their music. The recordings that were done of them have been so promiscuously re-licensed, bootlegged, etc. that it is next to impossible to figure out how many unduplicated cuts by these artists are out there, and the most efficient way to pick it all up, if possible.He tackled both artists a couple of years back. :)
