I’m gonna use my first few forays into Old School Fridays to hi-light some of the greats of blues music. Today, I give you Son House, performing “Death Letter.” It gets no better than this. Well, at least not until I start dropping Robert Johnson bombs on y’all.

Hi Kevin! I have to admit my knowledge of blues is very limited. But I liked what I heard. Happy OSF!

@Kim and Marvalus: Thanks. I’m looking forward to dropping more old school bombs on everyone and I’m happy to be joining this bad ass party!

Hey! Stopping by to say welcome to OSF!

Thanks for the introduction to Son House. He sure could tell a story of the heart. So interested I had to look up the lyrics!

See you next week.

I am so late making my rounds but have to say this is a gem.

As real as dirt.
