Little Boy Blue - Mack Simmons / Billy Branch

[deanmadonia]

Nice. I actually wrote a song called "Little Boy Blue," that has nothing to do with the original rhyme.... Check it out!

Let me make a correction, it sounds like an amp Billy is playing, but who cares really...these men can play with whatever...thanks for posting!

[cedricleecason]

Tone comes from the player, but u can tell the difference because Mack is playing thru PA and Billy thru an amp...great talent from both men. I respect both cause I like the amp but also love the PA sound...blow boys, blow!!!

arlean had breast cancer,which spread. the cancer, radiation,etc... caused her to swell and it was a soft cast.and she did die shortly after

[GerreeCee]

Thanks for the clarification.

[checker764]

Was her arm in a cast?

[GerreeCee]

She had some type of cancer in that arm, which I believe took her life shortly after these videos.
