Wouldn't you know that fellow'd get get somewhere like that. He came into Greenville when I was home on leave and he gives a dance, There were posters up and everything about him being Blind Boy number two. The people there wouldn't let me go until I got and played a number and the last time I saw Brownie after I played my number was him walking out the door and going to catch a bus out of town. - Baby Tate speaking of Brownie McGhee, from the liner notes to "The Blues of Baby Tate, See What You Done Done" Bluesville # 1072

Someone in my periodic Zoom open mike group just sent me this link. It triggered lots of thoughts, including the idea that 20-something Nat and 14-year-old Jay, who just introduced himself a few days ago, have both been captivated by Charley Patton. (If you go to the Spotify link that Jay shared and scroll down a bit, you'll see that his program a couple of weeks ago was totally dedicated to Patton.)

It attests to the power of Charley's music to captivate, and bodes well for continued passion for the country blues among new and young listeners down the road.

Thanks for posting this, Lindy. I saw it on the NewsHour last night, but hadn't gotten around to following up on it. The music is timeless and when the right people find it--or it finds them--the magic happens.
