Diddie What?

Recorded August 17, 1929 in Richmond, Indiana featuring Arthur Blake (vocal & guitar).

Blind Arthur Blake was an influential blues & ragtime singer and guitarist that recorded about 80 tracks for Paramount Records between 1926 and 1932. He was one of the most accomplished guitarists of his genre with a surprisingly diverse range of material. He is best known for his distinct guitar sound that was comparable in sound and style to a ragtime piano. Little is known about his life. His birthplace was listed as Jacksonville, Florida by Paramount Records but that is not firmly established.
