Abstract
Scope and Purpose of SIP-
Fieldwork: To hitchhike
the American road from Allegan, to New Orleans and
back spending bulk of time learning true blues
from old black men/women of the cotton obsessed
negro obsessed Mississippi floodplains.
Writing: In general to
capture America as experienced by a young white man
hitchhiking and backpacking sixty days on the road.
In specific: To
capture the culture of Mississippi Delta blues artists
without the distancing intellectualism that undermines
most blues research and robs the blues of the powerful
immediacy of context that is the soul of the blues.
