What a great track. I'd only really heard Walter Roland's boogie woogie piano stuff.

Perhaps a stretch for Country Blues related but...

Lewisohn Stadium on the Harlem Campus of City College was a famous venue for, concerts often groundbreaking like this one, and often geared towards a left wing audience. The Concerts were either free or very inexpensive.

The Walter Roland was very Memophis Minnie-like I feel.

Boy, that one is a winner, Prof.!  What a great signature lick!  I don't know this guy at all.  Do you know where he's from?  Sounds like it might be New Orleans.
All best,

Apparently he was a street singer in LA, John. Don't know where he hailed from originally. One for Bunker Hill, I think!

You're finding some real winners, Prof!  That Luther Stoneham track is really nice, never heard of him before, and Willie Lane was great, too.  Thanks for these.
All best,

Sam & Kirk McGee: Victory rag

That should be Victory Rag. It's also done as an autoharp showpiece, initially by Maybelle Carter, then popularised by Mike Seeger with the NLCR.
