Bonus Candy Man cover:
I was introduced to Candy Man by the Nitty Gritty Dirt band back in 1968 when they were just a west coast jug band. (Pre Mr. Bojangles and Will The Circle Be Unbroken)

1. Early Nitty Gritty is interesting

Haven't heard that before.

Lead singer is doing a spot-on Jim Kweskin.

3. My favorite from that album is Dismal Swamp, an original instrumental composition by John McEwen

The creativity of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band sorta went downhill when tyrant Jeff Hanna eased Jimmy Ibbotson and John McEwen out the door. To this day, Jeff Hanna never replaced the banjo.

Oh, Jackson Browne was with the NGDB in 1966, and wrote two other great songs on the album (although he left before they went into the studio to record them)

2. Chek out this cutie

This is what she does, I love her version of Blind Blake's "Police Dog Blues".

4. Totally works for me!! She's, like 17 years old!!!?

Thank you!

Police Dog Blues? Move over Ry Cooder!


She totally nailed two Elizabeth Cotton tunes (Freight Train and Shake Sugaree) playing right handed.

5. A Blues prodigy!
