Blind Blake  "Blind" Blake (born Arthur Blake, circa 1893,
Jacksonville, Florida; died: circa 1933) was an influential
blues singer and guitarist. He is often called "The King Of
Ragtime Guitar". There is only one photograph of him in
existence.  Blind Blake recorded about 80 tracks for Paramount
Records in the late 1920s and early 1930s. He was one of the
most accomplished guitarists of his genre with a surprisingly
diverse range of material. His complex and intricate
fingerpicking has inspired Reverend Gary Davis, Jorma Kaukonen,
Ry Cooder, Ralph Mctell and many others. He is most known for
his distinct guitar sound that was comparable in sound and style
to a ragtime piano.   license: GNU FDL source: Wikipedia  5
