Seems like every blind blues singer I'd heard about was playing the guitar - Ray Charles, from Brother Ray: Ray Charles' Own Story

Here's one you might enjoy, if you haven't seen it already:

Nice! I love it! The neat thing is that the person who wrote it obviously knew what he was talking about. There were just too many too specific references in there  :D

I'm confused.  Is it San Francisco that Josie Miles is terrorizing, as in the first picture, or is it Seattle, as in the last?  Or is she a serial city-terrorizor?
