		Floyd later began working with legendary blues artist Blind Boy Fuller in the 1930’s, earning him the nickname “Blind Boy Fuller’s Buddy.” ACR Records’ John Baxter Long invited Council to record alongside Fuller on a 1937 New York City session, after hearing him playing in Chapel Hill in January of that year.

	Introducing Floyd Council
		Accounts leave it uncertain as to whether Floyd was intended to be a solo or backing musician, but his recorded legacy seems to suggest the latter.
		Floyd was also promoted as ‘Dipper Boy Council’, and ‘The Devil’s Daddy-in-Law’; these were probably the invention of record companies, not genuine nicknames.
		Floyd performed around Chapel Hill through the ‘40s and ‘50s, both with Thomas Strowd and on his own; playing at country clubs, the Elks home and on local radio, where he is said to have often sung non-blues material.

	Syd Barrett
		It was Syd who gave Pink Floyd its name, from albums by two Carolina blues artists, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council, that were in his collection.

		Lacking the taut power of his recordings with the Floyd in 1967, they nevertheless remain fascinating and moving glimpses into a creative psyche gone awry after (it is theorized) too much fame and too many drugs too early.
