I would love to know who his students were and if any of them are adept players of his stuff.

Good point, O'Muck. You hear often enough of this or that student of Rev. Gary Davis, but I can't recall hearing from anyone who took lessons from Broonzy. Looks like he opened the school though:

Uncle Bud, thanks for the link -- that was really interesting.

There are some cool photos of Big Bill (& others) at Old Town School recently published in the book Chicago Folk: Images of the Sixties Music Scene
