78-Ron 9th Feb 2017		"Thanks" to the mistake of a dealer this record came into my collection.



fixbutte 9th Feb 2017		Nice that you own it, Ron, although it is definitely no hillbilly music, as the name addition in brackets indicates, see Wikipedia: Blake Alphonso Higgs (1915 in Matthew Town, Inagua, Bahamas – 1986), better known as "Blind Blake", was the best-known performer of goombay/calypso in the Bahamas from the 1930s to the 1960s. ... Although Higgs was never famous in his own right, his music has been covered by the likes of Dave Van Ronk ("Yes, Yes, Yes", ...), Pete Seeger ("Foolish Frog"), Lord Mouse and the Kalypso Katz ("Tomatoes"), The Percentie Brothers ("Goombay Drums") and perhaps most famously The Beach Boys, who covered his 1952 recording of the Caribbean folk song "John B Sail" ("Wreck of the John B") and called it "Sloop John B". His style was a mix of Dixieland jazz, calypso/goombay, and American folk, probably because of the close proximity the Bahamas has to the USA. ...
