0 Blues you ough’ta know with Big Charlie: A Man of the Cloth, Cut from the Blues
Blind Willie Johnson
The Blues has taken on many forms throughout history, in the case of young Willie Johnson the blues came through the word of the good Lord. From age four Willie told his family he would be a preacher. Johnson and his dad built a guitar out of a cigar box and Willie learned how to play using a pocket knife as a slide.
Blind Willie Johnson played and sang his unique versions of favorite hymns and spirituals for the remainder of his life. Until his death in 1945, Willie traveled the south from street corner to backyard spreading his Gospel.
Willie frequented New Orleans, playing and preaching on the corners of the French Quarter. legend has it he was arrested once for “starting a riot” outside the courthouse with a powerful rendition of the song ‘If i Had My Way I’d Tear This Building Down’.
If you’ve already heard of Blind Willie Johnson, that’s probably due to the fact that two of the greatest recording artists of all time covered a song first recorded by Willie. 
Dylan and Led Zeppelin both recorded powerful versions of the the song ‘In My Time of Dying’ which is a slightly altered version of Blind Willie’s ‘Jesus Make Up My Dying Bed‘
Check it out: Zeppelin and Dylan’s version below

0 New Bern!
Last night while en route to the Holy Ghost compound we ran over a deer. Mind you the deer had already been struck down by some long gone assaliant, we still ran over its carcass at about 70 mph. There is now deer hair on our wheels and a new whine from the engine, particularly when going up hill.
Now, after waking to a wonderful feast of biscuits and gravy with loaded scrambeled eggs prepared by Jaime Coggins and Kim (again thank you!) we have set off safely for New Bern for our next stop on this jaunt up along the mid-Atlantic coast. Along the way, we encountered a radio station that played ‘Ghostbusters’ by Ray Parker Jr, ‘Superstitious’ by Stevie Wonder, ‘Thriller’ by Micheal Jackson, and ‘Monster Mash’ in that order. We were pleased.
Thank you to everyone who came out last night in Roanoke, we will be back soon!
