I have that tune somewhere around here........without looking, I'll guess.......Baby Boo Caston?

I believe he was a member of Willie Dixon's Big Three Combo.

I'll guess the banjo is Gus Cannon's and if this is how the photo originally appeared then maybe Furry Lewis took it...

No.

Not Gus Cannon or not Furry Lewis the photographer? Or both?

Please disambiguate your answer!

Again, I'll do what I do when I don't have an idea for a question... A photo quiz!

Who is in the picture? (A very famous bluesman!)
