Joe Strummer must have been hip to this stuff. I hear this influence all over Joe and his music.

I was in the Acoustic tent when Lonnie was on. Someone in the audience shouted, "My Old Man's A Dustman!" and Lonnie replied, "Thanks for sharing that with us mate!" Then he played Rock Island Line.

@Carthsting Your dead right I cant believe how young he looks.I remember him in the fifties when I was only 12 or 13. and he was great,all we had in uk apart from trad jazz. He started with Chris Barber as the banjo player.
