Blind Blake, my second favorite bluesman behind Buka White, was the most well known musician of the "Piedmont Blues" style. Of course all of these musicians were originals, and were not really playing any style but their own. I saw a recent interview with Jorma Kaukonen where he disavows being a Piedmont style guitarist. I am sure that fifty years from now some guitarist with a unique blues style will have to deny being a "Jorma Style" guitarist.
