Bob Edwards had a Joe interview this morning. XM radio replays Bob's show at night and you should be able to get a pod cast on the NPR web site. Depending on your local NPR schedule you still may be able to catch it. Do not miss this!!!!!! Joe would kill you, but some one needs to chop up that interview into a Moodyman remix. Vocal stabs for days!!!!!!!!!!!!! The big pay off is when Joe plays slide guitar with a screwdriver!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ever seen those pictures of Joe with a 32-tooth shit-eating grin and his eyes closed? That would make a cool graemlin...

    Someone needs to write the definitive book on thos guys (Boussard, John Fahey, Gail Dean Wardlow, Bob Hite etc) who were driving around the rural south and urban centers back in the 50's and 60's tracking down rare blues and country 78s. There must be some amazing stories.

    Great idea with a sadly limited marketplace.We're starting a publishing company to do smaller books like this, so if anyone wants to write it, get at me.

    Yea, it's right in line with that Crumb thread. Anything past 1933 is crap!!!! Joe was totally railing on how people have no idea what blues, jazz and country really sounds like.

    Now add him playing the guitar with a screwdriver for a new "get on my level" or "shedding it" graemlin.
