    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Sigh!

    Not the full set o blind boys but...



    Bit o History

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwlW8uJwP-E

    Probably the longest continuous group - formed pre WW2. These guys have sung duets with everyone - they are the real bloody deal....

    Mavis Staples is one of the Staples Family Singers. She has really had a come back of late but if you are interested in social history and the civil rights movement then this woman and her family were right there at the pivot point.

    Class act....

    Jim - jump on ticketek and type in blind and wellington - St james, late April.

    ladies and gents - open your ears and your minds this is roots with a capital R. Nothin fake - its the real shiz!
