Cardinal Guglielmo “Howlin’ Dawg” Bartolomeo-Scruggs was the first high ranking Catholic prelate ever to be respected in the blues community. His 1940s recordings “Absolve Me, Baby”, “Got Them Miscellaneous Mussolinious Blues” and “My Dog Run Off and My Woman’s an Eternal Virgin” are considered the essential pieces of the short lived Vatican Blues sound. Unfortunately all known copies that survived the war were sat on by Junior Samples when Cardinal Bartolomeo-Scruggs guest starred on Hee-Haw, where he did at least get kissed by a cartoon pig wearing overalls. ---
