Description This essay examines the mutations of the "genes" which led to the expression of the early blues. Imbedded in the text are numerous examples of lyrics and cover-art from 1904-1928. This essay also stresses the impact of new technologies such as the phonograph, the radio, and the row-crop-tractor; as well as the intra- and inter-racial tensions, fiscal fluctuations, boll-weevil invasions and societal upheavals which mutated the blues genes.

    <string>This plugin will harvest all files in a subdirectory of a given base URL.  The Base URL is expected to not contain a trailing slash [/].  The manifest page must be located at /lockss/manifest.html of the base directory.  Useful for small, static collections with no defined structure that would lend them to be divided into AU&apos;s.  Please test this plugin with your collection before deploying, and if it is not functioning properly, write a new plugin.  Any changes to this plugin itself should be carefully considered and tested before deployment as it effects multiple collections.</string>
