Leadbelly - Pete Seeger

From pickinchik on 5/10/2011 5:58:29 AM

Was watching Rainbow Quest on Netflix last night and Pete was talking about how he learned to play the 12 string guitar. He said he knew Leadbelly for the last 15 years of his life and that is who taught him. HOLY COW!!!! Too awesome.
