The absolute last link to the old time blues and dirty blues is here. Everybody you have never heard of is here and the recordings are good. A priceless site. Everything from Django Reinhardt with Grappley to Earl Hines with Louis Armstrong to the whorehouse blues of Lucille Bogan. You may stay there for weeks. BTW if you listen to the Reinhardt cuts try to imagine that he plays that incredible guitar with his first and second fingers fused together from a terrible burn in a fire. Notes from eamilers Deborah M and Frank When looking up this type of old music use the term "Hokum Blues" on search engines, including Amazon.
