    Does anyone remember at the Newport Folk Festival when Dr. Ralph refused to eat with Mississippi John Hurt? Ralph made the statement, “I don’t eat with their kind”, to which Mississippi John Hurt said, “Well, then it looks like you don’t eat”.

    when sammy’s playing those c chords, what’s he hammering on with his pinky? is that a G note on the high E string?

    @MrCleanandWhite You are one sick bastard you know that? Songs from this era werent head bangin and swinging about this was emotional enough for most people.

    Both these cuts are beautiful. Talk about mountain soul! Thanks for posting.

    Nice work on that song.

    You need to spice up the act a bit though if you wanna make it in show business.

    I suggest that about half way though the song, have the fiddle player drop to his knees and having him start sucking on the guy’s nuts who’s singing. That way the guy singing will be able to put more emotion in the song.
