On this Day (maybe) 1888

[Devil Doc]

It's the birthday of blues singer and songwriter Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter (sometimes noted as January 20 or January 29), born in Mooringsport, Louisiana (1888). He's best known for his songs "Goodnight Irene," "Midnight Special," and "Rock Island Line" and for his skill in playing 12-string guitar

Doc.

A hell of a music man.... People don't listen to him much, but what he did with the guitar is still classic stuff most young players wish they could do..... Thanks...
