"Baby Keeps Stealing Lovin' "
The Mississippi Sheiks
Okeh 8843
The very
first Pre-War Blues Record I ever found! I was
16 years old, and it was in a pile of original Okeh stock that
was being dumped at the Sundown Swap Meet in Whittier, CA. I traded
it for a Jack Benny radio transcription at the time, then, years
later, I was visiting with Richard Nevins, from Yazoo and told
him the story of my First-Ever Pre-War Blues record, which I had
traded away.
He smiled and asked me if I still had it. I replied
"No." He reached into his 78 collection
and pulled out that same exact record! Richard then gave it to
me as a present, saying "This means more to you than it does
to me."
Thanks, Richard!
