Nice to see native blues musicians because the blues originated from American Indians like the father of the Delta blues Charlie Patton who was 1/2 Cherokee.His style influenced Robert Johnson, Son House and Howlin Wolf to name a few. Also Jimi Hendrix was part native. WTG Pura fe

OMG - spread the word, this music is awsome!

@zaggy3110 Unlike Jeff Healey though this type of style is meant to be so. It's based on the Mohan Vina, which is an East Indian guitar but there's a huge link which most don't realise. Bluesman Harry Manx plays the Mohan Vina.

Ry Cooder did a CD called "Meeting By The River" with and East Indian musician and the result was Delta style Blues. Kelly Joe Phelps also uses this style alot.

@tgtf72 Hundreds were..most of the Delta Legends like Missiissippi Fred McDowell, Lonnie Johnson even.

Then we have Link Wray, Lowell Fulson, hundreds more. There's a deep spiritual thing going on in Blues and Native music.

I believe she usually plays a Weissenborn guitar. But I don't think this particular instrument is one. Not 100% sure though.

You can get her cd's at amazon.

And yep, she Rocks!!

[zaggy3110]

It's a guitar. There are more musicans playing guitar on their knees. Think of the late Jeff Healey

[DLionel00]

So good.

But I wonder what's the name of the instrument she plays ????
