Really great (long) article from the NY Times magazine. If you are at all interested in pre-war blues, you will enjoy.

Wow, awesome article. I'm only halfway through it; you don't often get to read great, in-depth prose like that anymore.
The recordings are great too!
Nice post!

Finally finished (although I've still got to dig in to some of the "interactive" content).
I'm just amazed. Really great writing, meaningful content, well-researched, great video/film/recordings/inter-activity; this is what good historical/music journalism is all about, and this type of thing is what there should be a lot more of on the Internet/WWW/Inter-webs/what-have-you-term-of-the-day.
Amazing that even the New York Times would spend the time and money (unless they didn't, and he just found them willing to publish the material). In any event, kudos to the author, and kudos and many thanks to Rufer!
