Blues in the Night: 1941
May 1941. "In the convict camp at Greene County, Georgia." The guitarist is bluesman Buddy Moss. Photo by Jack Delano. View full size.
Buddy Moss
Mr. Moss has an interesting story to tell. Wikipedia has a pretty good bio of his life: "In an incident that has never been fully recounted or explained, Moss was arrested, tried, and convicted for the shooting murder of his wife and sentenced to a long prison term."
There's also another bio here. This one states it was the murder of his girl friend. He can also be found on You Tube.
They've Got a Right to Sing the Blues
It's a tribute to these guy's spirit that they could enjoy themselves once in a while, even in these circumstances.
