Wonderful! I never tire of hearing Roy tell his stories and pick those tunes. Roy is a real treasure! I feel truly blessed to know him and get to see him occasionally.
Thx for the posting- My friend James who turned me on to the Rev also used to help him around a bit and took me to his home in Jamaica Queens shortly before he passed, later Annie his wife gave each one of us one of his harps-
He was such a true inspiration in many ways to so many

I miss mi cuzin I never new who he was until he came down to our family reunion......But a few months later I wnt to the go see him in the hstp but he told the doctors that he didn't wnt nun of the little kids which is me and mi other cuzins 2 see him bcuz the way he was sick so yeah I bad and I was crying but R.I.P. CUZ
at :30' he says:" for two weeks I had Rev. Garry Davis' phone number in my pocket, and finaly descided I ¡ll call him, and when I did he said:"come on over" !!!!!!
Ian Buchanan, Jorma Kaukonen, Dave Bromberg and some others I'm probably forgetting had that phone number. I saw the Reverend on a park bench playing in Berkeley in the late 60's. Wish I'd had the nerve to ask for a lesson on the spot.

S.S. Stewart, made by Gibson. Most similar to the 1931 Gibson L2.

Aspiring guitarist?
At this point Roy has been playing blues guitar far longer than Rev. Davis.
