Gilliangirl Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I didn't know Elizabeth Cotten wrote Freight Train?! Wow, I feel like a dummy. Anyway, that's a great site, jkinnama. Thanks for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 One of the true thrills of my life is that when I was 16 or so, I was fortunate enough to have a few lessons with Rev. Davis. I recall I "borrowed" a box of my grandfather's cigars to give him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonCarlos Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Wow. Thanks for posting that link on Rev. Davis. I had never heard, so it was the best of a surprise. This is pure genius. Thanks. Thanks. I have never heard anyone play like this, and I love his 12 string. What a treat to watch this clip of Children of Zion, 7 minutes of pure performance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1lpMEFl1aA I had to laugh as I watched Donovan looked stupified (at what talent actually looks like) Thank God he had the wisdom to stay out of the gig and not ruin the performance.. And Pete Seeger? .....Yes I know, Happy Birthday Pete Seeger, but Pete you were way out of your league trying to play with the Reverend. He should have followed Donovan's cue and appreciate pure musical genius rather than to try and jump on board the talent train (Pete should have kept his fumbling banjo runs in his own head, I was hoping the Reverend would just stop suddenly and turn to Pete and say "Stop that please".
