Topic: Charlie Spand

Following our discussions on the Mississippi Blues topic where Charlie Spand's "Hard Times" was mentioned, there is a reprint of a Blues & Rythmn piece on Charlie including an advert for "Hard Times" over on www.paramountshome.org

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.
