Re: Baotm
Thank, Mikey. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that there are two (or more) John Baldry's in the world! Often blues and folk revivalists dipped into more than one genre in their early days before picking a specialty, so I thought Long John might have too. Also, apologies to Rikker (OP). If I'd looked more closely, I would have realized that I was talking to another Canadian.
Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."
