1937. Huddie Ledbetter

played on a russ morin tenor reso uke. Leadbelly wrote this on his first visit to Washington and gave a damning indictment of the city's Jim Crow segregation.

This is a GREAT song, and your version does it more than justice. Good to see you play, Jon. Happy New Year from the outer shores of Northern Civilisation.

That is absolutely wonderful - thank you for sharing!
This kind of music (and playing) really puts a smile on my face, which is worth so much this time of year.
