Upstroke is the way I learned it though. That's the way you're supposed to go with a mandolin. After I got my hands stiff I have to play it down. I can't play that quiver like I used to. You can play that quiver better with an upstroke. Upstroke is a better sound to me. Sure is. - Yank Rachell, Blues Mandolin Man

Good question. I've known Paul for 35+ years and for the majority of that time he's been researching and writing a Blind Lemon Jefferson book. Grapevine chatter has from time to time suggested it was about to be published, then a few years of silence, followed by other reports of pending publication and.....nothing.

Judging by this recent article about Mack McCormick, I'd say you can forget about Biography of a Phantom.

The irony here is that the title 'Biography of a Phantom' may end up to be better suited to a book about McCormick.
