BLUES TIDBIT: LONG LIVE THE BLUES! BLUES IS ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE MEANS OF COMMUNICATION OF ALL TIMES. NO MATTER HOW MODERNIZED THE WORLD BECOMES, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE AN APPRECIATION FOR THE BLUES.....NOW A PRECIOUS ANTIQUE IN THE WORLD OF CHANGING MUSIC FADS. BLUES MUSIC COMMUNICATES/PROJECTS EMOTIONS OF SADNESS, BITTERNESS, DISCONTENTMENT, ETC., AND TO THE SURPRISE OF MANY, OVERWHELMING JOY. BLUES OFFERS A FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, THAT KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES. MANY THANKS TO THE BLUES PIONEERS, THAT TAUGHT US FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, THROUGH MUSIC.

SPECIAL NOTE:

--Contacted one of few surviving members of The Sons Of The South, Lee kelly Hutton - most are deceased.  He is in the upper lefthand corner top of the photo.   He is now 79 years old and in very poor health.  I interviewed his wife and daughter.  He stated that he has no copies of the record - that they sold all they had, and doesn't think any of the other surviving members have any either.   Further stated their main focus was to sell records - no thought of posterity - so they let them all go.  So, whoever, gets this copy has a rare find - not many left to be found -  they were printed in limited quantities.  He recalled travelling the gospel circuit performing "Sure Thing" to large church crowds; says they snapped up the records.  He believed the record was recorded in 1972.
