The Late, Great Dave Van Ronk: "Down South Blues"

[willspires]

Great track of this master, and very welcome, but without wishing to speak ill of the dead that top E string is flatter than piss on a plate.

"Nobody knows the way I feel this morning..."

You were the best, Dave, even sang a song about me.

Thanks for the drink and the autograph in Toronto (mid 80's) Will miss you always

this guy is a character, the hat, glasses, voice, facial hair, smooth fingers, mannerisms, eccentric pattern on shirt....this guy is the real deal

What's goin' on with it now. Gentrification? Hollywood celebrities. One of the Bush daughters lives there.

Awesome blues player, that has lots of home grown tricks... Sad he is gone.

He's kind of got a weird way of fingerpicking, but it sounds great. i guess it is one of those things that only he can do.

Sorry to hear that the pioneer has passed away.
