Trying to tackle the style of Connie Williams. Watching the existing video of him has been real Help full

If you want to learn how to make songs yourself, you take your guitar and you go to where the road crosses that way, where a crossroads is. Get there, be sure to get there just a little 'fore 12 that night so you know you'll be there. You have your guitar and be playing a piece there by yourself... A big black man will walk up there and take your guitar and he'll tune it. And then he'll play a piece and hand it back to you. That's the way I learned to play anything I want - Tommy Johnson, to his brother

Great job man. I got to see him a couple of times in my misspent youth. First time he opened for Elizabeth Cotten at settlement house in South Phila. I learned that he played on a corner near Graduate Hospitaland went there a couple of times before I got to see him again.
@ tmylet - thanks for sharing that, i bet that was somethin special to see. i read he played with Gary Davis some. i bet that woulda been somethin special to see too.
@john miller - thanks John! means alot. @daddystovepipe - hey thanks! i was just on your youtube channel gettin ideas for church bell blues! @thomas - thank you too! Very well done, Cub. It took a lot of hard work and love of the music to get to that point, not to mention talent.
