Is that a Gibson that Big Joe Has- Its got the parallelogram inlays and the Gibson headstock but from the headstock down its all Big Joe (and looking again from the headstock up also) : )

@bevanmcg yes it's a Gibson archtop he modified to a nine string guitar!

I love Big Joe and his nine string guitar. "Baby Please Don't Go" is his most well known. Nice footage

That guy Houston Smkokehouse does a good Tommy Johnson.

There is something to be said about an old time Blues player plying the tool of his trade next to a camper without wheels. He probably lived in it. Most of these guys died penniless and collections had to taken up so they could be given a proper burial when they died. Eric Clapton, in fact paid for Howling Wolf's tombstone.

This is the guy who pretty much thought B.B. King to play a guitar.

Amazing.. Especially since my dad filmed it and has raved on about it for years! ;)

[rmurbach1961]

@GinoRoxx Does your dad have any other footage of Big Joe Williams or Houston Stackhouse?
