>  That is a standard blues riff.

Really? I've never heard it played quite like that on any other 
record. Still, I don't think 'originality' matters to some people - 
as long as they're honest about the lack of it, I don't mind!

I suppose the problem is that some people believe if they acknowledge 
all their sources, it weakens their case to be identified as the 
composer.

I don't think it's the case in all traditions - for example, in reggae 
it's quite common to have a version with only minor adjustments put 
out under a completely different name and title. I think the 
assumption is that if you like music, you'll know where the original 
came from. Like the organ part on 'Double Barrell' by Dave and Ansell 
Collins, which is quite clearly lifted from 'Lay Lady Lay' by Bob 
Dylan.
