Sad to hear this morning that David Honeyboy Edwards just died at almost 96 yrs old - he was one of the last in the direct line back to the start of it all.
If you read some of his obituaries, they're kind of like a who's who of the blues because he was associated with Charlie Patton, Big Joe Williams, Tommy Johnson, Rice Miller, Robert Johnson.......and on, and on.

He was recorded by Lomax in the 40's
