1930s Blues & Jug

Can't write now (gotta work), but I thought I'd leave a slightly cheerier post out here. Aaron wrote with news of his new baby and made a passing reference to John The Revelator, which reminded me of the Blind Willie Johnson song of the same name; this got me thinking of 1930s blues and jug music. So I am spinning one of my old faves--Gus Cannon. I signed up for Rhapsody again. They have almost all of the Document Records collection, which covers the 20s and 30s really well.

So I am gonna work hard, listen to jug band music, and try not to let other people wear my pants or take my money.
