   Blind Blake's Blurbs
About me:
I'm the goddamn King of Ragtime Guitar. I'm blind, and as was the parlance of the time, I incorporated that disability into my identity. I was born into a cotton picking family, but I couldn't tell a cotton plant from a slave driver. I started playing guitar because I couldn't earn any other kind of living. Sometimes I sound like I'm playing Flamenco, but wherefrom that came, I couldn't say. Some people will say, after I'm dead, that no one ever solicited a more original sound from his instrument.
Who I'd like to meet:
Lightning Hopkins, so I could unplug his goddamn amplifier.

Check out my new improved version of On A Diet - and tell me I don't pick with the masters. (actually, you don't have to tell me. I already know) But, really, it's a good song - inspired by ol' Champagne Charlie his-self.
