I understand he has some more surprises for us in November. The answer to #12 is: who has a song which include jokes about an elephant and a cat and an elephant and a chicken? IP: Logged

Before I had ever heard of a guy called Brozman, the cover photo from the YAZOO L 1030 Lp was the main reason for me to get interested in National guitars. Didn't he look sharp, that "Devil's Son-In-Law"?? IP: Logged

Adrian Freed Member Posts: 2360 From: Berkeley, CA, USA Registered: Oct 2000	posted 10-18-2002 08:50 Yes, but you can't have a full bonus point because I provided the link to Tefteller's site and because he seems to own or have owned everything at one point in time. IP: Logged
hoodadoo Member Posts: 2011 From: Westport, Ct., Registered: Mar 2001	posted 10-18-2002 11:06 Okay, I'll settle for a near full point, even though I haven't yet clicked on your link to download the mp3. I have "met" John through record collecting, and it was an educated guess. I know he is extensively into rare 78's, along with lps, and 45's.

Adrian Freed Member Posts: 2360 From: Berkeley, CA, USA Registered: Oct 2000	posted 10-22-2002 15:37 Great answer to #1! For a bonus point I am looking for a different artist and an earlier recording (1927) and the clue is: the title of the song reflects the "stolen girl " theme. IP: Logged
mr mando Member Posts: 1026 From: Heart of the Alps Registered: Apr 2001	posted 10-23-2002 11:34 Oh no! How could I be that stupid!! It's "stole rider blues" by Blind Willie McTell, recorded 10/18/27, released on Victor 21124, that's what Adrian was thinking off. Still don't know about the "Kill It Kid" thingy, I never heard the Library of Congress Recordings of McTell's. But anyway, thay were done in 1940 and that's not pre-war for me, even if it was for McTell! IP: Logged
Adrian Freed Member Posts: 2360 From: Berkeley, CA, USA Registered: Oct 2000	posted 10-23-2002 16:34 Yep, you got it. OK, so there is the prewar blues and the postwar blues, but nobody talks of the during-the-war blues. So does the pre and post refer to the beginning and/or end of the war? IP: Logged
