beautiful, i think the few people sitting in front of them are lucky to be there!

tell me if i am right: they are playing in a synagogue, so they choose spirituals related to the old testament and very african style musical with a bit of semitic taste inside

is'nt it so?

anyway there were a lot of musicians who did similar things... reverend gary davis (without bottleneck) is my favorite
