RARE AS HENS TEETH! A interview with Blind Jimmy Melon!

 Never heard him interviewed afore and so this is as rare as rockin’ horse poo!! 

An interview with the ole blues master hisself . . .sadly now reduced to work at a diner mostly as a dish cloth flinger for grits n groceries, there’s still the glimmer of the old blues master with a twinkle in his eye and a damp patch in his groin!



What colour did you fink he wuz!? White or sumptin?

This rare duo caught on shellac left over from building their still, Blind Lemon here accompanied on washboard, jawbow harp and such like by Deaf Man Trudy. They holed up in the backwards backwoods yet still they managed to record a few tracks here before the moonshine kicked in! And folks wonder how he went blind!!? Sheesh!

 

Just call me the Alan Lomax of Merkin Mewsic! Ya get me?


Still pertinent for all your Easter celebrations!
