Those who bewail the fact that the country blues is dying should stop and consider Wright's words. That such a situation as that in which Guitar Shorty and others like him lived and continue to do so surprises those who never have seen it. Some blues fanciers even find this poverty romantic. But there is nothing romantic about living in a brokendown shack with a roof that leaks. There is nothing romantic about fetching your water from a well, especially in the winter. Likewise, there is nothing romantic about being forced to live in a situation not far removed from slavery. Make no mistake about it, unskilled rural workers only get paid when there is work to be done. Lena and Shorty did the best they could with what they had, but there is nothing romantic about the smell of poverty, nor is there anything to brag about in having sat with people desperately blotting out their day to day realities with cheap alcohol and in doing so, drinking themselves to death. The fact that Guitar Shorty was one of the many who contrived to produce beautiful music in the face of such deprivation is a tribute to his innate artistry. Nevertheless, those who would like to see the country blues continue as a living force in its original environment would do well to consider those words of Richard Wright's and to remember that this kind of wretchedness that produced a man like Guitar Shorty should not be allowed to endure."
