OK, this was from 2 1/2 years ago.  There is a hilarious series of
comments under somebody's live performance of what he says is one of the
missing songs which he or his uncle or somebody has.

The comments seem to come to a head "four months ago", so maybe
Tefteller has them now (???)  But what I find interesting is the Willie
Brown record that does exist and is posted.

It seems very pedestrian and ordinary to me, not like what is said in
the article that nobody can play in his distinctive guitar style. To me,
blues like this is as unimaginative musically as rap is -- just
repeating the same non-melodious rhythm over and over and over ad over
and over, etc. The nonsense lyrics of the missing song "Grandma Blues"
that is printed there could have been written by any simpleton, either
in 1930 or 2011 -- we could have a contest here to write our own lyrics
to this or the other "missing" songs.  Melody doesn't matter -- they're
all the same.
