I thought, and still do think, that Lemon was a very good guitarist. Gary disagreed. (laughter) Gary started to play a very accurate pastiche of Lemon's Black Snake Moan, and Gary just opened his mouth and let out with this incredible blood curdling scream, and then he stops and says, "Man, he couldn't have sung no louder if someone was cutting his throat". He was merciless - Reverend Gary Davis, by Dave Van Ronk

Thanks, Becky. A reminder that the current generation--or previous ones as well--didn't invent sex, violence towards one's significant other or off color lyrics.

Here's one you might enjoy, if you haven't seen it already:

I love the cartoon of Willie McTell teaching the alphabet in a classroom.

Nice! I love it! The neat thing is that the person who wrote it obviously knew what he was talking about. There were just too many too specific references in there  :D

That was wonderfully done, and full of songs that not all Country Blues fans know. I agree that this guy knows his stuff!

I'm confused.  Is it San Francisco that Josie Miles is terrorizing, as in the first picture, or is it Seattle, as in the last?  Or is she a serial city-terrorizor?
