        One of the most unique at finger picking. Amazing what he could do.

          This may be the only video of Blind Connie. I was interested to see him using slapfret style. I’m sure he was not the one to invent it, but I don’t know of anyone else using it those days. Do you?

              I think Brownie McGhee did to an extent.

              I never heard of him, as I like this kind of root blues, I will check for more on the web, thank you.

              Where does the white go when snow melts?
