From Blind Willie to Mississipi Fred Mcdowell

Just picked up some Blind Willie.

It occurs to me that Mississipi Fred Mcdowell owes a lot to Willie in terms of style. Both players use slide guitar exclusively and both players do sacred duets with female singers.

Another observation-Mississipi John Hurt owes a lot to Blind Blake. Both play ragtime arrangements on guitar which are not strictly blues.

In each case, Blind ------, who only recorded in the twenties and thirties, influences Mississippi -------, who mostly recorded in the sixties.
