Saltmarsh Bill - this is actually old news and has been on the Weenie before, but you're not to know that being a newbie. Actually the player, Ronnie, is a man, despite the delicate fingers.

PP, yeah I wondered about that, and the head scarf didn't help.

Thanks for the clarification, and my apologies to Ronnie!

Just discovered this video of my old mate, Roger Hubbard, accompanied by Pete Shaw on double bass at a festival in the south of France.

That is really nice John!
Is that just one guitar part?

Beautiful,
Joe

Hi Joe,
Yes, it is one guitar.  Ralph Willis was a nice player, wasn't he?  Here is a link to a post in the "Rag Blues and Circle of Fifths" thread that talks about this tune:  http://weeniecampbell.com/yabbse/index.php?amp;Itemid=60&topic=712.msg33434#msg33434

Hi all,
Here is Papa Egg Shell doing "Goin' Up The Country, Part 1".  Whew!

Thanks for the link to the "Old Home Blues" info John.

That's some of the best playing I've heard in a long time!
At least now, thanks to your post I can "strum" along, while I work on all the nuances he puts into his playing.

Miles to go,
Joe

Good for you, Joe, and I should say that if you like Ralph Willis' playing, just about all his recorded tracks can be found on the JSP set, "Shake That Thing--East Coast Blues", which also includes all of Dan Pickett's titles and all but a couple of Gabriel Brown's.  It's a great set.
All best,
Johnm
