http://www.offbeat.com/2012/08/01/new-orleans-string-bands-at-the-turn-of-the-century/ I believe that picture is on the cover of Yazoo's Before the Blues Vol. 2. Great image. Elijah mentioned that in his PWBG post. I didn't copy or quote his post (just the link) as I thought that would be inappropriate, but mentioning the Yazoo cover is probably within the bounds of propriety and something that I should have done. Elijah followed up with the following link: http://www.harpguitars.net/iconography/icon-american_id.htm you don't see too many double necked guitars in those old pictures! Not many, but at least there are some! The 6 & 7/8 String Band rules!! Lots of solo stuff by Doc Souchon is very odscure but great too. There's a rather recent CD by Lars Edegran's Triolian String Band which I'd recommend as well to anybody who like the 6&7/8s!! Pages: [1] Go Up
