Cora Mae Bryant (b. May, 1st, 1926) the daughter of Georgia guitar legend Curley Weaver ) passed away from natural causes on the morning of October, 30th. She once said, "When the weekend came, Daddy would come and get me. We did not know the difference between night and day."
Curley would perform from one house party to the next often meeting up with his friends Blind Willie McTell and Buddy Moss. "When we was out partying, they loved to hear all Curley's songs but two they especially loved was "Ticket Agent," and "Tricks Ain't Working No More." You could really hear their feet stomping. Daddy and I used to sing "Wee-Wee Hours" together, it was really pretty. Cora Mae was there, taking it all in, singing along, sitting on the knees of the men that created Georgia Blues.
Cora Mae kept this music that she held dear alive and influenced and mentored many up and coming Georgia blues artists. Cora was a tremendous resource to blues scholars such as Peter Lowery and Bruce Bastin in their research on the blues history of Atlanta. Cora Mae recorded two wonderful CDs for the Music Maker label, has a third unreleased CD and is featured in the soon to be released film, "Blues Stories."
