Members bigald18 Posted February 1, 2011 Members Share Posted February 1, 2011 Josh White was one of my favorite performers when I was a kid. The way he did John Henry was absolutely wonderful. BigAl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gitnoob Posted February 1, 2011 Members Share Posted February 1, 2011 Josh White's son is a guitar player, and some old white guy ends up with the guitar? And then sells it to Elderly? WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OldGuitarPlayer Posted February 1, 2011 Members Share Posted February 1, 2011 Very cool video. I love how Ovation was the first company to have a signature guitar for an African American musician. I also like how the current owner of the guitar was suprised (as a child) that Josh White would come for Easter dinner... I am not surprised at all. What blues musician would turn down a free meal? By the way... the girl doing the research is hot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bluzboy Posted February 1, 2011 Members Share Posted February 1, 2011 So, if Josh White was so important to this fellow, why is he now selling the guitar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bridgepin Posted February 4, 2011 Members Share Posted February 4, 2011 So, if Josh White was so important to this fellow, why is he now selling the guitar? My thought's exactly, I'm sure he was thinking if I can prove that this is the first of it's kind ( CHA-CHING ) A very cool piece though, I enjoyed watching it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
