A good long life. RIP.

[Chuck Nessa]

An early and faithful guide. Many thanks.

His "Story of the Blues" was an early read I soaked up from the first to the last page in my very early collecting days (borrowing the book repeatedly from the local Amerika Haus library), and browsing through it today I think I can stil feel the impression it made on me at the time (omissions 'n'all).

RIP
