"Red River Blues" (Little Son Jackson)

Learned from an old Arhoolie 33 - "Blues Roots".

Sorry I broke down, but it's a sad song.

Played finger style on my 12-string National steel bodied "Delphi" resonator guitar.

Note: I wear the ski mask because I'm otherwise famous, and don't want this to "get out".

Hey Hoopie I like the sound. I'm gonna try 'n learn that tune right now.

@Enak12345 Thanks, but I don't do it justice. Sometime listen to Little Son Jackson play it.

Cannot imagine you do not want to be famous, someone who obviously feels the music in such a way and can play some mighty fine guitar.

[hoopiejohn]

@SpoonfedVideos My fame might not be National, but maybe at the local level of a small, conservative East Tennessee town.

If a funeral parlor director, a high school teacher, a pastor, or a city official, I wouldn't want the local public to know about my musical hobby.

I write and play off-color songs, insane songs, politically incorrect songs. So I wear the mask, in my basement; and only a very few people here know I even play guitar.

But thanks for your comments and compliments.
