Paul Geremia Statesboro Blues

from http://paulgeremia.org Geremia has built a reputation as a first rate bluesman, songwriter, a "scholar" of early jazz and blues, and one of the best country blues fingerpickers ever with his tools - six and twelve-string guitars, harmonica, piano and a husky soulful voice - and with an innate sense of the humour as well as the drama of the music, he keeps traditional blues fresh and alive with his performances.

Lik e this ..Great pickin'. I also like this tune done by David Bromberg, Chris Smither, Andy Kimbel and of course who can forget the Allman Brothers... They just may have put the song on the map in a generic sense.

@ceepatton oryou have little or no sense, that I'd be interested in your lack of deciphering skills makes no sense.

The way he tells the story, no dates and loads of possibility's, 1926 , my da was three

degrees warmer than he is now, at 87 he never listened to a song like this in his wife, my mother, he had his own rhythm section, ended up with a football team. No subs though. Great little singer sound righter, OK I digress but there's loads of time a veil a bubble.

Willie played on the streets of not only Atlanta, but Augusta, Savannah, and Statesboro. He had relatives in Statesboro, but I always heard he was born in Waynesboro, up the road apiece. I know he is buried in the Waynesboro/Thomson area.
