As you probably are aware there is only one known photo of Blake. 'Arthur' Blake was born in the late 1890s, and died in the early 1930s. Nothing is definate on the data collected regarding Blind Blake, so I’ll leave it alone. What I do know is he had an amazing thumb technique and a rapid syncipated style and I absolutely love him. I have over 30 tracks of Blakes, in my collection.
Blind Blake & His Piano-Sounding Guitar' by Jas Obrecht is a most informative interpretation of the life and music of Blake. It is a well written account of the guitarist extraordinaire known to us as Blind Arthur Blake.
