[burninhellfire84]

i love these lyric's of barbecue bob

[909chuck]

We are lucky indeed to have his records in such good shape. Could have been recorded a few decades ago. The guitar rings as he sings!

[MrBuk86]

Yes! Yes! Yes! I also love that Hauver guitar, especially since it's built in MD, my home state, makes me proud really. They also have a Lead Belly/Willie McTell 12 string, a Charley Patton guitar, an a Blind Blake model. Cheers!

@Galacticplane Roscoe Holcombe does it on a banjo too.

lyrics!
