Sugar Babe was the first piece I learned, when I was a little boy about 13 years old. Reason I know this so good, I got a whippin' about it. Come out of the cotton-patch to get some water and I was up at the house playin' the git-tar and my mother come in; whopped me cause I didn't come back - I was playin' the git-tar. Yeah, I got a whippin' bout Sugar Babe - I never will forgit that one - Mance Lipscomb, from his biography
Hi all, I don't have any idea of how much people are keeping track of the videos that are getting posted on the Weenie YouTube channel, but just recently some longish interviews with lots of performing by Furry Lewis and Fred McDowell, as well as film footage of Guitar Shorty performing at home, that must be quite rare, have been posted. There really is some terrific stuff being put up there and I hope folks are checking it out. All best, Johnm

I'm excited to see the video footage of Guitar Shorty playing in his home. I have searched the site high and low but have been unable to locate it. Did it get removed?
