There should be more mourners gathered around that grave.

[DocAndPaige]

There are gatherings of a dozen or so people out there a couple times each year. If I ever hear about one ahead of time, I'll totally be there with my camera. :)

I said "Oh...Ooh! We have to stop!"

That grave derserves more monuments around. R.I.P Leadbelly, one of the biggest legends of Blues and influence to all big musicians, specially for Kurt Cobain and his legendary "where did you sleep last night" cover at Unplugged 93'

@DrStrangelove346 I think the countless amount of people who appreciate and celebrate his life over a half a century after his passing do a lot more to keep his music and his story alive than any amount of mourners grieving at a tombstone ever could.

Leadbelly was a violent drunk

[mryuck206]

Cool stuff but OH OH WE HAVE TO STOP is a little bit loud and obnoxious when I dont know where my volume is.

[jiffcat]

My father-in-law just told me about Lead Belly tonight (11/24/10)!!! I've been watching videos and I'm so glad that I'm able to hear his music. Thank God for Youtube!!
