As part of its ongoing study of Cincinnati's King Records, downtown’s Main Library will hold a panel discussion at 3 p.m. celebrating the 60th anniversary of one of King's most crucially important recordings, “Blues Stay Away From Me” by the country duo known as the Delmore Brothers. The song was written and produced by Henry Glover, an African-American who happened to love country as much as he did Blues, R&B and Jazz. Essentially a rewrite of an R&B song called “The Hucklebuck,” with a strong harmonica performance provided by Wayne Raney, it was one of the first instances of the melding of urban black and rural white music, and is considered an important precursor of Rock & Roll. On the panel will be Glover’s daughter, Sherry Scott, and Alton Delmore's daughter, Debbie. The free discussion has been organized by the library's King scholar, Brian Powers.
