1) "Bracey's first name is Ishmon, not Ishman, his wife Annie said.She said he was named after an Old Testament character."(Gayle Dean Wardlow 1998, p. 45)2) The guitar Bracey's holding is a Stromberg (with an asymmetrical headstock - lower string side more "protruding" than higher string side!), which signifies that the originally published photo actually must have been flipped on its way to publication. That doesn't necessarily mean that Bracey was a left-handed guitar player, because we also have a Big Joe Williams photo (undisputed a right-hand player!) holding his guitar equally "wrong way round" for a photo shooting!
