On October 14, 1965, I managed to get the microphone of my tape recorder in front of the family's Silvertone black and white tv just in time to catch this:
Memphis Minnie ( born June 3, 1897 )was one of the greatest blues guitarists of all time. She recorded this song for the Okeh label(6707)in 1941. This is the actual 78rpm record. I think you will find the sound remarkable.
