Location: 6 String Ranch | Elija Wald did a book on him too. Interesting to read. He was a pretty nice guy but sure seemed older than 52 when I met him. The mileage may have been a factor. A neighbor loaned me some of his early recordings from the time he was big and I truthfully have to say it's not my cup of tequila. |

Location: the BIG Metropolis of TR | Well whatdaya know......Learn something new every day! I've lived in Greenville and Greenville county for 44+ years and never knew or heard anything of Josh White being from here!
Small world!
Hmmmm.....You would think there would at least be a street named after him somewhere around here.
Might have to check the library and such....
Thanks for the info Woody. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | No He wasn't rough at the edges. He was a very polished person. He just always ran at close to full throttle. That gets you after a while. |
