DESCRIPTION:
My take on this extraordinary recording by Ishmon Bracey. Its not an exact replica by any means but I hope I have the essence.
Played on my Fraulini Erma guitar, which is a replica of the old ladder braced guitars of the 20s and 30s.
The eagle eyed will notice that I did not change my trousers after coming in from working in the garden, and may also notice a certain Mr Johnson peering over my shoulder on occasion:-)
I've linked the original for ease of reference- thanks to RagtimeDorianHenry http://youtu.be/ydx-lB797ok
If youve not heard it before, do so. Its off the wall and brilliant. And no- I'm not going to do the falsetto (and yes, I have tried!)
