For an unrelated side comment brought on by this unrelated side comment, I
am reminded of the time I went to see Cephas and Wiggins live.  They play
acoustic blues in the Piedmont style (very nicely, too, I might add).
Anyway, at one point they were playing a song and I thought to myself,
"damn if this doesn't sound just like 'Lost Johnny'!"  I find it alarming
to discover now not one, but two cultural links associated with Lemmy and
Motorhead! ;-)

I wish I could remember the name of the blues song; "Lost Johnny" was a
dead ringer for it.

Cheers,

Paul.
