I have a lucky number,that is the number seven.The Seven Sisters is a term used to indicate the constellation of the Pleiades -- but The Seven Sisters of New Orleans were a family of hoodoo women who lived and practiced in the Crescent City in the 1920s - 30s.Mentioned by several of Harry Middleton Hyatt's informants,they were said to have a house "by the water" and were popular enough to became the subject of a blues song by the Texas musician J.T."Funny Paper" Smith.Here are complete lyrics for "Seven Sisters Blues,Parts I and 2" recorded October 3rd,1931 in Chicago and released on two sides of a 78 rpm record.Notice that the number 21 (3 times 7) also appears in this song.
