(Actually, I mostly transcribed what I call "Delta Ebonics" into standard English for the researchers, who need a local translator in their work.) Anyway, related artists and KFFA history came up frequently, and I recall a number of conversations with elderly people who knew Robert Nighthawk. At the time of his death, he was staying at the Riverside Hotel in Clarksdale, and the owner and other regulars were convinced that Nighthawk knew his death was imminent. One day, he left all his worldly goods at the hotel and walked to a nearby bridge over the Sunflower River, where he found a comfortable spot in the shade under the bridge, sat down and died. That seems like the epitome of taking one's exit for a rambling blues man. Thanks so much for this wonderful recording!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5564093350797322784.post-87696089304049572222013-11-24T18:47:59.889+01:002013-11-24T18:47:59.889+01:00thank you for your many great posts.thank you for your many great posts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5564093350797322784.post-2073910707241319122013-11-24T15:08:40.594+01:002013-11-24T15:08:40.594+01:00Everything you'd want to know about Nighthawk&...Everything you'd want to know about Nighthawk's recordings but never dare ask!
