He's the man!

Oh yeah, Josh White "One Meatball"!

I think the first version I really heard and listened to was that of the elder Josh White, somewhere around 1955. More laconic, but stunning. Part of what got me started singing folk songs.

Very good job, I'm used to the Johnny Cash version, only moderate violence! LOL

Wow. Luv the song. keep it up. I love Sam cooke's version but your's sound's so grassy blues. Great to hear some blues. You need some more people to jam with you, just to fill out your jam (but not not because you sound bad). Either way great!!!

@smugglinghams Once in a while, in Cairo, I find some. But remember, I'm an old guy now, and tend to stay home at nights. Lots of smoke in the Cairo Jazz Club, so I don't go there often. And the traffic problems to get downtown to the Sawi Culture Center is also somewhat daunting. Just to say it's my own fault, cause the people to jam with are around. Just not often around where I am.... Thanks for the encouragement.

I´ve been hoovering the net for a 40 yrs old version of this song. It was performed by an Irish folksingergroup. Cant find it anywhere, but this is the one that comes closest to it. Great guitarplayer and great version. Thanks.
