Interesting read and it gave an insight into both Bloomfield and Joe. I was let down when he let it be known about Charley Patton stories then failed to give us the juicy details. The original printing of this book was over a thousand bucks a year ago. The 1999 printing is $144 bucks. Now its free for all which is good since it is not the most well written book in the world. Erwin you do good work, much appreciated.

It's too bad the book didn't have the R. Crumb illustrations from the original High Times article. Both were based on a hilarious radio interview. I've never felt quite same way about snoots since...
