“I was present in Houston, Tx in the summer of 1960 when the two blues researchers/authors first hatched the plan for this book and I kept in touch. Alan Govenar later visited Paul Oliver when Paul, due to failing health was ready to turn all this material and research over to Alan after Mack McCormick had abandoned the project!”
(Chris Strachwitz)
In addition, both Alan Govenar and Chris Strachwitz will be on Tom Mazzolini’s KPFA Blues program Saturday July 13th from noon to 1 to plug our Book signing event. Tune in for a sample of the Blues Come To Texas.
