Does anybody in here want to write my Mance Lipscomb or Steve Miller description? You have to include something about the influences of other Texas music, and crap like that, and why whatever it is that I have of theirs is iconic, but I'd appreciate it ever so.
One of you is gonna fall and die, and I'm not cleaning it up!

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Gandalfe, if you're about, I'm dropping the CD in the mail today. Sorry for the delay!

I'd offer to contribute, Heather, but I'm fairly ignorant about both.

Eh. I'm just being lazy. I finished Lipscomb, you might like him. He's a little bit of everything, blues, ballads, rags, all sorts of dance pieces. He was pretty much a sharecropper (I think he's made one recording anonymously) before some blues researchers found him in 1960.
In addition to a recording I have (or the company archive has) I have a Vulcan Gas Company handbill for his show- the hippies loved him.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
CD update: Jon, I'm going to get my long-overdue CDs in the mail to you on Saturday, and Steph, I'll make you that African music CD this weekend as well; I just need your address. Profile addy is good.

I actually have a couple of Lipscomb songs on a collection an old co-worker gave me, and they are certainly the cream of the crop on that disc (most of which is filled with cruddy Muddy Waters-style knockoffs). If I'm listening to blues, it had better be country blues.
