Brief description from Waxwing John: Possibly the most astonishing discoveries and exposition in decades. All due to info trickling out of Mack McCormicks vast archives and subsequent brilliant research by a young student named Caitlin Love and the writer, John Jeremiah Sullivan. Amazing. Macks interview with L.V. (her real name), her turning from the blues to the church where she was known for her voice, multiple documents from her life and a picture of her gravestone, subsequent interviews with surviving family members, including their statements of her lesbianism, and all topped off by strong evidence and documentation that Geechie murdered her husband, Thomas Wiley. Neither was from Mississippi, L.V living all her life in an unincorporated neighborhood in Houston and having played with Texas Alexander and Sippie Wallace, Geeshie coming from Louisiana and spending time in Texas and Oklahoma. Beautifully written and presented with music and videos. Truly astounding:
