Quote:

George Lewis told the Englishman, the Italian, and the Jew, / "You can't open your minds, boys, to every conceivable point of view."

Comments:

George Lewis and Charley Patton were both Depression-era musicians: Lewis a jazz clarinetist from New Orleans and Patton a bluesman from the Mississippi delta. Neither is pictured above, though . . . that would be famous Italian Tony Soprano.
