The Hot Tuna reference reminds me of a song they covered by Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell called "How Long Blues." It was a popular tune in the late 1920s by the duo, who were based in Indianapolis. They had great success until the moody Blackwell split with Carr over money and song credits ... shortly thereafter Carr died of alcohol-induced nephritis and Blackwell faded, as they say, into obscurity.
Blackwell was rediscovered during the folk blues revival of the early '60s but he was murdered in 1962.
Too many stories like this among great Bluesmen of old. May they all rest in peace.
