057 Bigmikeydread Reggae Radio - Blind Blake (Blake Alphonso Higgs) Special
Download - bigmikeydread.podomatic.com/entry/eg/2009-09-15T09_58_53-07_00

I've wanted to do this for a while, Blind Blake, Bahamian Calypsonian (Some might say Goombayist, if it was a word!), hardly
known to our world now, his strident voice and indomitable spirit comes through these 50 year old recordings as strongly as
it must have rung out over the dining tables' of rich Americans visiting the island of Grand Bahama from the 1930s onwards.
Little is known about this once popular Island entertainer, all that is left are memories and the recordings of the American
Recording and Transcription Company, or ART records for short. I discovered him languishing in a bin of old records in a
Charity shop, fell in love and then spent serious money collecting other Lps in the series! Typical!
These tunes are offered to you alongside an informative, though somewhat stilted 'lecture' ;-) from yours truly,
I really hope you like this stuff.... Regards,
Mikey
