This was posted on the Weenie Campbell site today, and I thought it would be worth mentioning here too:
"Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m pleased to announce the publication of my book on the legendary Chicago bluesman Big Bill Broonzy.
Blue Smoke: the Recorded Journey of Big Bill Broonzy was released by Louisiana State University Press in October. It is a short biography that uses song and story to place Broonzy in the context of African American history.
I’d like to share my website with you and your readers for more information. The address is www.bluesmokestory.com.
Please pass the word.
Yours truly,
Roger House"
Note that apparently it is a rework of this: House, Roger. 'Keys to the Highway': William ‘Big Bill’ Broonzy and the Chicago Blues in the Era of the Great Migration. Ph.D. Dissertation, Boston University, 1999. 247 pp.
