    You've done a wonderful thing posting this! Thank you! I have two tracks by Moses on compilations from the Florida Folklife Collection and have always wanted to know more, since so little information is available. Amazing to think he got this much sound out of one string!

    This is fascinating. You hear the guy play the one-string guitar, and then you see him make one on a door, while he explains what he's doing. Don't miss the last couple of minutes.
