Well I had started that about the age of twelve... see my mother had a guitar, my father made her a present of a guitar, and he taught her a few chords, but I first started on a little outfit I made with a cigar box... I made a guitar with a cigar box, had peg keys, bored holes in the head, and I had uh... the strings graduated from fishing twine down on to thread - Johnny St. Cyr, guitarist for the Jelly Roll Morton's Red Hot Peppers in an interview with Alan Lomax on how he learned to play guitar

The song that in some form was likely was the Model for We Shall Overcome
Rev. Gary Davis - I'll be Alright

Great music. Wracking my brain trying to figure out where I have a recording of this song, perhaps under another title? Can't find it anywhere. Oh well. I did get to listen to The Uncloudy Day as compensation.

Thanks for the post, Mr. O. As Andrew said--Great music! (BTW UB: There's a version on "Have A Little More Faith")

Thanks Stuart. The mystery deepens for me. My CD of that is no where to be found, and not on my iPod either.

Earlier this week, Blueshome put me wise to a new site with great promise: hollowneck.com.

Via that site I discovered this gem. I'd never heard of Brazilian lap slide guitarist, Christiaan Oyens before, but I love his stuff.

When I checked out the Dick Justice vid, I noticed this one . . .

http://www.youtube.com/user/IplayBanjoNow#p/u

She's got 18 vids on her youtube site, most of them classics that we all love. Anyone know who she is? She's obviously got the country blues fever, I've sent her an invitation to come visit us at Weenie. She seems like a good candidate for a scholarship to Port Townsend.

Now that's what I'm talkin' about! Let's forget for a moment that that amount of movement would leave me too out of breath to sing, I think Lone Wolf has raised the performance bar to something we should all aspire to. Kim & Frank, I'll be lookin' for some fancy footwork on the 28th! :P I also think we owe it to our wider international audience to start translating and performing our repertoires in other languages Urdu, Manx and Finnish for starters!
