    1. Hi Monsieur Jujube, yes Nat King Cole on the cover. I'm always looking for nice photos to use as artwork covers for my compilations, sometime there are tracks by the artists on the covers in that particular compilation, and sometime not.

  4. Thanks Bob, Willie Dixon is a favorite of mine and some unknowns to me also make a good comp for me. Mike.

    1. Hi Mike, yes a very early Willie Dixon track, with the Big 3, from 1947, I saw Willie Dixon Allstars perform live in mid 1970s, and I spent a pleasant couple of hours chatting with Willie Dixon, not an interview as I didn't tape it or take notes and ask interview type questions, we just sat together talking about blues and various sessions. It was very enjoyable. He was a nice person to be with.
