Everybody singin' like somebody else's body. And that's pretty spooky if you think about it. I like the shows where the guy... he's like 18 years and white and he's comin' up on stage before a 90 years old bluesman [pantomimes lurching onto stage, plays really old sounding blues, wails incomprehensibly]... And then the 90 years old bluesman comes on and says, 'OK man, whassup?' Everythin's gotten like kinda spaced if you think about it... - Jerry Ricks, Port Townsend 97

Neil Slaven mentioned Big Bill Broonzy took a photo of Elmore James, Rice Miller, Little Walter & Tommy McClennan walking down the street . . . anyone ever see this or know where I could catch a glimpse?

Yes, first published in the French magazine Soul Bag in 1983 and later reproduced in a Living Blues. Probably been reproduced since. A couple of years back I was asked to scan for a similar enquiry on the web. I'll look to see if I still have it.

LoneWolf has a pretty blurry version of it on his McClennan/Petway Myspace page:



BTW, "photos" would be a good Tag on any Topic that has one or more.

All for now.

I don't think it's a case of resolution more one of severe camera shake by the photographer.  :)

However this weekend I'll see what I can do with the Soul Bag photo....

TMC was said to have been a "little fella" by both Frank Edwards and Eddie Taylor.

Sorry I can't do much better. Increasing the resolution just seems to increase the text "show through" from other side of the page. Click image to zoom in.

Hey that's a bit better, thanks BH. Looking at this photo has made me realize 2 things: as I've already stated, Tommy was a little fella -
& second: men's fashion has gone way down since the '50s!

Wow, this is quite special. Is this the Willie Brown of Future Blues? Do you know more of the provenance of this picture?
