Very nearly Friday

So, this talk of the early 1970s today has reminded me of an LP which I bought at the record shop on the western side of the High Street. Was it Virgin? Anyhow, it was the Reverend Gary Davis:-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_Hbuf6FEoY"Slow Drag / Cincinnati Flow Rag"

There was a record shop opposite the cinema.

Hi David, Rev Gary Davis is absolutely one of the greatest blues, ragtime pickers.Check out a guy called Roy Bookbinder who used to assist The Blind Preacher on his tours, and has some really funny stories about him, he also plays some lovely blues and ragtime himself.Just stick his name into you tube and a load of videos will come up.And for anyone else interested, check out Candy man, and Hesitation Blues, oh, and Children of Zion, you don't know what gems are awaiting.All freely available on Youtube & Spotify.

Thanks for Roy Bookbinder. I'd not heard of him. Interesting bloke. Yep, good old YouTube. Certainly can check people out and head down memory lane.
