Upcoming book
Added 2022-04-15 21:33:57 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
As some of you know I've been working with a new publisher, the last time we spoke I mentioned that I was really interested in Blind Blake's work and felt like I had finally figured out a lot of the mystery behind his playing. They asked if they could send a contract out right away! I wanted to reach out to the community here for feedback regarding what you would like to see. A few friends have already suggested some titles:
Instrumentals:
West Coast Blues
Blind Arthur's Breakdown
Guitar Chimes
Southern Rag
Slippery Rag
Vocals:
That'll Never Happen No More
Diddy Wah Diddy
Police Dog Blues
You're Gonna Quit Me Baby
Chump Man Blues
Any other titles to suggest? I personally really like Seaboard Stomp. Any other topics worth discussing? I'll start putting a lot of time into the project over the summer, so depending on licensing hopefully it can be wrapped up by the end of summer and released by 2023, but these things can move slow and often be unpredictable. Look forward to everyone's thoughts!

The song should be in order of difficulty or at last graded..that said
