    I knew soulstrut could come through with the quickness.

    Thank you so much!

    Happy to oblige... I find that a hankering for some blues like this only gets worse if not satisfied.

    Pete Seeger tells this story:

    One afternoon Leadbelly walked into a label/studio in Chicago (or NYC) and says I have a new song Irene Goodnight and it's real good and I want to record it. Record man says great let me get a contract. Leadbelly says, "No contracts, I've been ripped off too many times. I want $50.00.) Record man says OK! Leadbelly records the song, record man happily turns over $50.00. What the record man doesn't know is that he is the 8th record man that Leadbelly sold that song to that day.

    Or something like that.
