We answer questions about co-writing with Blind Willie Johnson (and we hear a bit of Blind Willie singing), about Al's not-happening dinner party, looking for hits, and about being famous. After the episode we play the entire Blind Willie Johnson song "I Can't Keep from Crying Sometimes", recorded in 1928 . Nilly the Dog concludes each segment with some brief pooch dog thoughts.

The ASHEVILLE SHELLAC BASH is by far the most eclectic gathering of pre-war Blues, Country and Jazz 78 rpm record collectors and musicians .

After defrocking the “Low Men” last week, the Losers reconvene to untangle what's easily Stephen King's most thematically knotty collection: “Hearts in Atlantis”, “Blind Willie", “Why We're in Vietnam", and “Heavenly Shades of Night Are Falling". Together, they discuss King's political evolution, the corruption of idealism, and the many ways these stories dovetail with “Low Men in Yellow Coats”. Oh, and falling pianos.

Jim's beloved dog Willie went blind before passing away over a year ago. Jim gets emotional talking with Dr. AJ Marlar of Northwest Animal Eye Specialists, a specialist in Golden Retriever Pigmentary Uveitis, a disease that affects purebread Goldens and took Willie's sight. Also, what an inspiration a blind dog can be, and tips on how to look for potential future issues.

In this bonus episode, I talk about Blind Willie Johnson's gospel/blues masterpiece 'Dark Was The Night', a nearly wordless song that was included on the legendary golden record included aboard the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 space probes. This episode evolved from a discussion I had with Charlie McCarron, of the excellent Composer Quest podcast. You can hear the entire recording of 'Dark Was The Night' at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8AuYmID4wc

My name is Cora Mae Bryant and my father is Curley James Weaver. He played with Blind Willie McTell, Buddy Moss, Barbecue Bob, Eddie Mapp and all of em. I remember I used to sit on Buddy Moss' and Eddie Mapp's lap and reach in their front pocket and pull out some chewing gum. They used to play around with my father. We plays the original Georgia blues music. We plays and sings songs that my father, Blind Willie and Barbecue Bob and Buddy Moss made and Joshua plays them all so close. He really took the time to learn how to play em. And I makes up my own songs and Joshua plays them like my father and them, you know in that same style. Cora Mae Bryant is the daughter of Georgia guitar legend Curley Weaver. She remembers, "When the weekend came, Daddy would come and get me. We did not know the difference between night and day." Cora is a blues scholar; her house is a blues museum. She can tell you everything one needs to know of the old blues. If you need a good lesson I strongly urge you to make a trip to her door in Oxford, Georgia.

Born William Samuel McTell in 1901, Blind Willie lost his sight in late childhood, yet earned the status as one of the most accomplished guitarists and lyrical storytellers in Blues history. Blind Willie became an accomplished musical theorist, able to both read and write music in Braille, through an encouraging family and strong faith. While few of his recordings ever earned mainstream popularity, his influence on the modern music and art scene is widely known. His songs (Statesboro Blues, Broke Down Engine Blues, etc...) have been recorded by famous artists such as the Allman Brothers, Taj Mahal and others. He left the music scene for the pulpit in later life and the details of Blind Willie's death remain nebulous; nonetheless, his legacy grows exponentially each year. You have to maintain a certain tolerance for ambiguity to understand how a disabled African American from central Georgia in the early part of the 20th century could inspire the likes of the most successful and influential Blues, Jazz and Rock musicians of our time.
