    Louis Myers, 'I'm A Southern Man" Advert 2809. Another top five LP. Someone who deserved so much more recognition. Give it a listen.

    Johnny Shines, "Standing At The Crossroads" Testament T-2221 LP. Another top five LP. Other than his '50s Chess/JOB recordings, his best ever. Simply magnificent stuff.

    What Are You Listening To - April, 2025

    Masters of Modern Blues Vol. 4-Robert Nighthawk/Houston Stackhouse; Testament Records T-2215. My favorite LP. I don't play guitar, but I can't imagine a blues guitar player listening to Nighthawk or T-Bone Walker (and there are many guitar-players I love) and being transfixed. Just tremendous...

    What Are You Listening To - April, 2025

    T-Bone Walker; "Stormy Monday Blues" Bluesway BLS-6008 LP. Produced by Scott Thiele's (pipemaker and PIPEDIA owner) father, I assume. Anyway, a great and under-rated LP for some reason.

    Mississippi Fred McDowell; Delta Blues. Arhoolie F1021 LP. I had the great pleasure of hearing Fred live at the octagonal chapel of Macalester College here in November 1971. When my parents and I made a trip to Mississippi in the summer of 1972 we stopped in Como and I went to the post office...

    UK Tobacco Brands Index

    I always thought "Cut Golden Bar" was someone's proprietary name but it looks EVERYBODY offered a blend by that name...must have been a general type like "flake" or "Curlies".

    UK Tobacco Brands Index

    Just type in "UK TOBACCO BRAND INDEX 1870-1980" and it should come up on google...that's how I stumbled on to it while looking for books re: old tobacco tins. When I said "pretty complete" I probably should have said pretty extensive...The Dunhill listings, for instance, are far short of the...

    UK Tobacco Brands Index

    Just found this site while diddling on the computer and don't know if it's been mentioned here before, but might be of interest to some of you. UK Tobacco Brand Index 1870-1980 (pdf). Two alphabetized sections: one for pipe tobacco and one for cigarettes. Looks pretty complete altho I can't...
