Always been surprised nobody ever bothered to make a movie about Charley Patton's life. It was short but busy. The man was a scrapper who had his throat cut by a lover, a limp from being shot , and enough itinerant musician shenanigans for any 5 rocks stars since. Both Charley Patton and Skip James were the classic Delta bluesmen who did and saw it all. Charley Patton was a madcap, but Skip James was downright scary in his heyday. By the way Dan.....great work. Will be swinging by Dockery's and Charleys gravesite next year on my annual visit to the Delta.

Thanks for the comments. The delta blues is by far my favorite blues, one man, and a guitar skills like that are lost now. I would love to see a Charlie patton movie or a robert Johnson or a son's house. There are so many great stories and legends. im planning another trip to the Delta myself. A lot of the places i wanted to go i couldn't because they were closed due to the "vid"
