  5. Thanks loads for all the above. Pound for pound, SDJ was the world’s greatest entertainer. Back in the late sixties (memory worth repeating here) I was lost in the back-country of Tennessee when two drunken jerks offered me a ride. We spent the afternoon, after buying some hooch from a bootlegger, listening to the bootlegger tell stories about Bill Robinson. Bill had a lot in common with Jerry Jeff in that regard. Thanks for the post.
