Noah Lewis (the great Noah Lewis) played cross and straight with Gus Cannons Jug Stompers.He was best on cross.

The other man to track who bridges the gap between the folk style and lays the foundation for the post war blues harp is Hammie Nixon,accompianist to Sleepy John Estes.Big influence on Sonny Boy 1.Later of course but very important
