T Model Ford At The 2009 Nelsonville Music Festival

The Old Taildragger T Model Ford sat down for an interview with us before his May 16 set at The Nelsonville Music Festival in Southern Ohio. We'll have our interview posted later. He's a riot. During a rain squall I took some Flip video of the 86 year old blues legend playing "Chickenhead Man."

@XGRIMYONEX what's his age have to do with anything? just check out the look on everyone's face, think they care about his age? if not for him and those like him, much of the blues based music as we know it today would not exist. age is irrelevent, only the music matters.
