This music is a major part of my 'Pursuit of Happiness'. GOOD GRIEF!

Discovered this music while in South Carolina….pretty cool actually.

Capital A-W-E-some! I've been playing since 1964, and Jim Kweskin was one of my earliest influences. Can't get enough of that jug band repertoire.

[@quirtdrozario856]

Fantastic. Love it.

[@jeffthehorsehorsey]

This song is by Lightnin' Hopkins originally though with different words. From th eLP "Blues in my bottle" and mighty fine it is too.

[@DK-sn2ih]

This was recorded in 1928 by Prince Albert Hunt's Texas Ramblers

[@vesawalamies8867]

Hopkin's version is fine, but "Prince" Albert Hunt made a recording of that song as early as 1928.

Tapping my toe ten seconds in :-)

[@saragreenberg8885]

Let's hear it for the Melodica!!

[@fredwilson7448]

The song is by the Holy Modal Rounders, who, besides Kweskin had a huge influence on the Beatles and Rolling Stones.

[@YellowChoklit]

Fred Wilson the holy modal rounders just covered it, lovin spoonful do a good version as well. Where do any of the beatles or stones mention the rounders? Id be infinitely interested to see/read that, as they are a big influence on me as well

[@howardwilliams7112]

Actually I think they both got the song from a 1961 Lightnin' Hopkins LP with that title. Don't know where Lightnin' got it from..@@YellowChoklit

[@MajorWolfgangHochstetter]

I'd only heard the Lovin' Spoonful rendition with different lyrics.

[@ThomasDeLello]

They call it a "stopper"... but it ain't gonna stop me...
