john henry -friday folk ukulele

[cariboubill]

It's good to see you singing this song, Todd. And you are right on about Lew Dite and Ray Crooke. All three of you are doing a great job of preserving these old songs.

 ...Bill

[kennymelodica]

[doogey9]

thanks so much kenny and crew....

hugs again :)

[lukuleles]

these songs will never die.

[doogey9]

Luke....

yes, thank goodness for pockets of folks here and there that help pass em' along.....that's one of the things that stoked me about your channel was that you did "gypsy davy"

a song on my list of 'to do's'

anyway, i'm all for doing my part.....i love this stuff and i want my kids and family and friends to at least have a chance to get turned on to it too.....if they don't like...no harm no foul, but i'm definitely for spreading the folk love....

[jhgarl35]

Great picking and harp playing. Always amazed how people can put those two together... -JH

[doogey9]

thanks Jeff,

i've got a j.e. mainer gospel song on my ipod that is 'the bomb' i'll have to check out more of his stuff....i like it....

[UkesterBrown]

Todd has his groove back- I'm guessing the AC is still workin'.
