I think I’ve said it before, but Tom is one of the top 3 KZbin blues finger style guitarists. Probably top 2. In the world. I have a hard time with a gosh danged cat video getting 30 M views and guys like Tom, who are directly linked to the original masters of blues -> all popular music-> don’t get 10k. We all need to start sharing with any music friends.

[@PlayCountryBlues]

Thanks Brett! I would argue that anyone doing a Mance Lipscomb video probably could never get 30M views…those types of views/numbers are from people covering bigger name rock/pop artists.

[@avtobus1234]

Completely agree! who do you think are the other two? I would say daddystovepipe belongs there rightfully

[@stevefranklin6041]

Excellent! You were born for this. 👍

Darn, I thought I learned this lesson well, but listening to you play it reminds how much more work I have to do. Good job

[@Slippery-Stan-Miracle-Man]

Mance is definitely a favourite !!!! Thanks

[@Galdust]

This was fun learning! I bought your Essential Country Blues lesson series. Looks perfect for a beginner like me to challenge myself with some new songs. Cheers! :)

When he was “rediscovered” I believe he was driving tractor mowing along the highway, came home and played that day. Could be remembering it wrong.

[@JustVinnyBlues]

He wasn't rediscovered. He had never been recorded before 1960. He was just living his life. It was quite a task tracking him down. His wife complained about him bringing white folks to his home, until he showed her the money he got paid. He started playing for them and they objected to the song selection; he was playing white popular tunes. He could not believe they would be interested in hearing the music he played in his community. Those recordings made up his first album, and a year later he was playing major concerts on college campuses.

Love it, Tom! Are you doing a whole video on Mance?

[@PlayCountryBlues]

Yes, I will do more tunes. Sugar Babe, Jack O Diamonds, and Run Sinner Run are already available at playcountryblues.com
