"Baby Please Dont' Go" has scored
channels so deep in my skull it plays
itself in an endless loop when my word
mind goes on hold & I gets down to
working. I saw Hooker at a dive in Durham,
North Carolina in 1977 & his good friend
the Reverend Gary Davis came up on
stage & sang "Death don't have no
Mercy" & that day I knew what people
mean when they say "makes the blood
run cold..." Hooker once bolted a
speaker to a toilet to get a more natural
reverb sound in the studio.
