Phil Spand can be seen on the cover of the latest issue
http://www.bluesandrhythm.co.uk/index.html Listened to this guy last couple of days, love him.
"After his final 1940 sessions there is concrete information about Spand. Several sources believed that he died in Chicago around 1975". http://sundayblues.org/archives/3160 My typo - should read "After his final 1940 sessions there is no concrete information about Spand. Several sources believed that he died in Chicago around 1975".
This comes from a spotlight I did on Spand a year ago. See http://sundayblues.org/archives/3160. My sources were "Charlie Spand ? Back To The Woods by Alex van der Tuuk (Blues & Rhythm No. 217, 2007)" & the book "A Left Hand Like God" by Peter J. Silvester. Pages: [1] Go Up
