Written by Alton Delmore of the Delmore Brothers in 1930. But the lyrics that I'm singing come from Doc Watson. We playing and screeching (singing) in G.

Tuned in open G, I capoed up into A. This is a song that I've played for years on banjo and it seemed to work on the resonator guitar.

Clarence "Tom" Ashley recorded this tune in 1933. A year later, the Carter Family did the same. Alternative title is Dark Holler Blues. I'm playing it in the key of D. As with all my live home recordings, there are some blemishes.

Originally recorded Nov. 21, 1930 in Memphis by the Ray Brothers. Many people during Prohibition turned to drinking a patent medicine called Jamaican Ginger or Jake. But it caused neurological damage. Some victims could walk, but they had no control over the muscles which would normally have enabled them to point their toes upward. Therefore, they would raise their feet high with the toes flopping downward, which would touch the pavement first followed by their heels. Those afflicted were said to have jake leg.

During this early period of learning how to play a resonator guitar, I turn to old tunes that I have played for years on clawhammer banjo. This Stephen Foster tune has been a long favorite of mine.

I had to post this tune on my Facebook page and get input from my friends to determine what I was playing. I knew the tune, I just didn't know that name of it. But an old-time fiddle playing friend reminded me that I was playing "Josie Girl." I first heard this tune a few years ago from Charlie Acuff, a fiddle player from near Knoxville.

I stumbled coming out of the gate, but recovered to sing what was a prison song made famous by Huddie Ledbetter, a bluesman "discovered" at Louisiana State Penitentiary in July 1933 by folklorist John Lomax. After his release from prison, "Leadbelly" would make music his career until his death in 1949. The song was later popularized by Creedence Clearwater Revival. Played in G on a National Triolian.

A glass of red wine, women's Olympic hockey and a National resonator guitar resulted in a tune that I call "Shot Off the Glove." I think it's original with me. But maybe I'll realize differently in the morning.

This folk-blues song written by Walter Vinson and Lonnie Chatmon of the Mississippi Sheiks, a popular country blues band of the 1930s.
