Elliot and a few others on your list might be Jewish, but I'd (or anyone who
knows the genre at all) be hard pressed to call them lesser blues men, much
less GREATS. chuck

And the Paul Oscher listing (see my previous question / comment) may not be
correct, either, and neither was the spelling.
Frankly, I wonder if such lists ultimately are not divisive amd sort of
pointless (beyond -maybe- some ethnic pride) given the amount of ink and
bandwidth spent on related minefields like whites and blacks in the blues.

Jeez, this list again. Anyway, Paul Butterfield never was "Butterfeld."
From what I recall from that mult-part biography published in Blues Access
several years ago by Tom Ellis, "Butter" hailed from Irish stock - of upper-
middle class parents, no less. But I'm not sure of the details.
