  • All yo ol' white hippie crackers, y'all aint gonna play no blues, no suh.....my cousin Gary Davis be de only one te play dem.....Bishop Mental oreo jones

  • @oreokookie1000 Your racist. That all your comment says. Music does not belong to any race. Let me put it this way, would you be offended if someone said blacks couldn't play classical, and used racial slurs like you did?

  • @oreokookie1000 It's all style. Gary Davis has a style, and so does everyone else. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean that other's don't, and that's fine by me. Music is meant for people to feel emotion, and if it does, I'm glad for them.

  • Rev did not live to 94... he died at 76, fix that date please :D.

  • @Fruscianteistheman You are correct. The Reverend was born in 1896 not 1876. I posted this video as I found it, and don't want to edit it.

  • thumps up if u were sent here by Richard Fortus

  • thank you, Richard Fortus!

  • awesome!!

  • @horlacsd : Just that one time on May 4, 1970 . . . and one other time when I was camping out at Beaver Pond and some jerk on the other side of the pond was shooting a 22 long without looking where he was shooting . . .

  • Isn't this Samson & Delliah?

  • @TheCountziggenpuss Yes, that's the more correct title here. However the song was written and performed earlier by Blind Willie Johnson and called If I Had My Way. It seems that this is the version that most influenced the grateful dead.

  • knowing that the reverend almost never played a song the exact same twice, and that this sounds almost identical the the version on Harlem Street Singer, does anyone think that this could be the rev in the studio recording his masterpiece?

  • praise!

  • Great.

  • Saw the Rev. Davis in workshops at Kent State in late sixties. Unreal.

  • @bobdevo Were you ever shot at? 

  • Good god is right. Holy shit that was awesome lol

  • Great! Great! Great!!!! THX!

Longtemps j' aurais aimé l'avoir vu pour comprendre globalement son geste, et cette coordination= un Don_Une vie de Foi et de Pratique, au quotidien (se figurer...
