Up 'til then, the blues were only inside me. Blind Lemon was the first to 'let out' the blues. - Roscoe Holcomb

It was along about that time that Blind Lemon Jefferson came through, and he stayed around there about a month. He stayed with the other colored fellows and they worked on the railroad there; he'd just sing and play to entertain the men in the work camp. I think that right about there I started on the guitar. - Hobart Smith recalls Lemon in Virginia, c. WWI.

Right, sorry, it's Tony Russell's Blacks, Whites and Blues, out of print in the separate edition I have, but available as a section of Yonder Come the Blues, which reprints the Russell book, Paul Oliver's Savannah Syncopators and Dixon and Godrich's...uh...can't remember the title.  :D

edited to add: it's right there on the back cover of my book: Recording the Blues.

"One Fourth of July, they were having a festival in downtown Memphis, with five or six stages and Charlie (Feathers) was playing on the rockabilly stage. I'm sitting there watching him and I turn around and there's this guy sitting behind me, all dressed up, smoking a cigar. Do you know who it was? It was Roosevelt Sykes, the Honeydripper! Just sittin' there, diggin' Charlie!" - Kim Wood


 8) how cool is that?
