Blind Blake was a Superb Blues Artiste, that had a Guitar playing style that sounded exactly like the Stride Piano. He died at the age of 38; thank you for your contribution Mr. Blake, you are appreciated. Please take a listen here and have a sweet Monday: Early Morning Blues , Diddie wa diddie , That will never happen no more , Seaboard Stomp , He's in the jailhouse now , Papa Charlie and Blind Blake talk about it (with Papa Charlie jackson) and West Coast Blues
