Sorry on this one is standard only detuned but he used crossnote much of the time often playing the same tune either way. The bentonia fest is one of the best roots blues festivals around and the oldest bluesfest in mississippi.camping is free with entry or so it was last year , With Jimmy duck holmes David Raye and Chris Gill playing some crossnote material , Terry harmonica bean , lighnin malcolm ,Bill Abel and many many more blues greats of the real deal persuasion.
