Blind Lemmon Jefferson - I had to check amazon to see if there were any cd's of his available. I've only heard him on the radio - years ago when Dallas had a decent public radion station

We have a great college radio here that plays nothing but old jazz and blues! It's a great station - most of it is funded by the donations of listeners like me

Every time I hear those two names, I think of the Van Morrison song "Cleaning Windows". He mentions them in that song!
