Negros must stop the deluge of filth, which makers of records are marketing among them. The music of the 'Blues' is one thing, but whether good or bad, it is indefensible to put to it all the stench which ingenuity can drag out the under-world and camouflage with words of double meaning. Don't buy them! Don't go to people's houses who do buy them! Don't permit your race newspaper to bear that name and at the same time advertise flagrant immorality set to music. Do anything, do everything, filthy records must go. - Roy Wilkins, (attrib.) editorial in the December 31 1926 edition of the Kansas City Call, probably written by the man who ironically went on to head up the NAACP

Yeah, I've listened to it a number of times now, really nice, very beautiful. I hear a little bit of There's a Destruction, but lots of other stuff going on too. I agree with frankie, it's like one of those moments where he was caught on tape just playing. ("just playing." hah. but you know what I mean.) It also has a very clear melodic arc that sounds simple but ain't.
