'Picked up from the Harbord House bookshelf, and registered on Bookcrossing (like geo-caching for books) so its journey can be tracked. A blues history book. From the back cover: "Wonderfully bold and bracing…more than a tonic. It's champagne." - Los Angeles Times Book Review.
My Mom, Bucklesbook wants to delve into Blues history. So…this book is off to her next!
The history of the Blues is very different from the blues of the jazz era in the '30's. The originators were black men who worked on the plantations or later were share croppers in the southern US after the civil war. I am passing this on to a fellow jazz lover.
