[Doginthefog]

[estherloomer]

I've been looking for Andy Cohen for twenty five years, so please Don't go the F anywhere. Listened to Andy and Joe LaRose at the Green Dragon Inn on Blackhawk Island in the middle of a long Wisconsin winter and have never forgotten it. That's about how long I've been looking for their rendition of "Hillbilly Express" also. I had a cassette tape of it recorded from "Simply Folk" back then, it was amazing, but finally gave up the ghost. Anybody, does it still exist somewhere?

[mranney869]

[JasonRichardTaylor]

that not maple leaf rag? but still awesome

[gunlover93]

that was some awesome pickin, but i didnt really hear the maple leaf rag.

[Hoopskidoodle]

That's some nice picking, but I'm not sure what you're supposed to be playing.

[moniquec84]

this is awfull compared to scott joplins piano version. You know the way its meant to be played.

[VincentTamer]

you sir can get the fuck off of the internet!

great playing

[Bluesguitarman64]

Great !

Rob

[lastfirstface]

Great picking.

[JonBeech]

Great work. I met you at the Mississippi John Hurt festival in 2007 and you did you Gary Davis renditions there

[TheSanityInspector]

Fine job, a nice bookend to Adam Fulara's clip, which linked to this one.

[psychedelichobo]

reverend gary davis is wonderful!

i'm glad someone played his version up on youtube.

thanks alot man!

[SeeDeeMoe]

Wow! Just a joy to listen and watch a master at work.

[JerTheAraluan]

THE CAT!!!

[locust73]

Great Job! Very close to the Reverends!

Did your cat film this?

[TheDeLi]

Great job dude! I love hearing variations on great songs like this. It makes me smile when I see people leave comments on stuff like this that say "THIS ISNT MLR!"

[mikeberk810]

well played mate. that's one unusual guitar you've got there,

Michael Berk

[hobberdehoy]

The best part was the cat.

I honestly don't really hear the MLR in all that...

[sunmax1]

nice cat

[OMGWUNSIU]

MEOW...

[ultrakool]

He's a-pickin and I'm a-grinnin.

[FeitenFan]

Great Job Andy!! I have a cd by Andy doing all Rev Gary Davis tunes on the Riverlark lable, it's really great, one of my favorites. If you like this I suggest you get a copy. Thanks for posting the video

[zeemobile]

He plays in the style of Rev. Gary Davis who interpreted the piece.

[Gangly1]

I have to say it is nice playing but...but for the description and your comment at the end, I would not have recognised it as Maple Leaf Rag either...see the earlier comment.

[2ndgeneration]

Hmmmm, the cat didn't move! Great pickin' though, loved it!

[willwadd]

that honestly doesn't sound like the Maple leaf rag by scott joplin

[ragtimemax]

He's playing the arrangement of the late finger-picking great, Reverend Gary Davis, not Joplin's original. Interpretations like this are a fresh change from Joplin's already solidly-constructed original. *****

[fouramhq]

I love this style. What in the world kind of guitar is that? Are you Robert Johnson??

[easye1989]

Good Pickin'

[fridrikur]

Sounded alot like the lat reverende. Liked it alot. You didn't play it too fast

[kwaggmire]

Nice rendition! Fiendishly difficult but you make it look easy.

[MaloSify]

heh I think the background noise just adds to the song...
