Very kool! do you know if his records on Baton were any good? Just saw one on ebay for sale Baton 236 "I'm a fool to want you"..

Not sure I know that one. Has nobody put it up on YouTube yet? Anyone out there know it? As you know there are some great records on Baton (Rivileers, Marie Knight, etc.) so it might be worth a small bid.
