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.

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.
