Negros must stop the deluge of filth, which makers of records are marketing among them. The music of the 'Blues' is one thing, but whether good or bad, it is indefensible to put to it all the stench which ingenuity can drag out the under-world and camouflage with words of double meaning. Don't buy them! Don't go to people's houses who do buy them! Don't permit your race newspaper to bear that name and at the same time advertise flagrant immorality set to music. Do anything, do everything, filthy records must go. - Roy Wilkins, (attrib.) editorial in the December 31 1926 edition of the Kansas City Call, probably written by the man who ironically went on to head up the NAACP

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk The old Sovereign's been thru hell and back, but, the tone! When I found it in a garbage dumpster a few years back, the strings were rusted, the neck had been given a "poor man's reset" and was barely playable past the 5th(!) fret. But the tone that it gave was just amazing! On that basis alone, I decided to rescue it from an end in a landfill, and just work on it slowly. I'm glad I did!
I loved all of these! Please post more you are a great picker and that guitar sounds amazing.
