Nazzareno Zacconi: Inside my far memories, a tune in an interesting tuning, I asked him and he answered, the tuning is in the comments:

And a real entertainer as well as acoustic virtuoso:

Tommy Emmanual:

I subscribe to Daddystovepipes. Been listening to him for a while. I was disappointed in his version of Joseph Spence's Great dreams from heaven.
He did not understand the subtle rhythms of Spence. I guess not many people do. Just like Reverend Gary Davis.

Ry Cooder did a great job on that tune. He studied Joseph Spence quite a bit when he was young back in LA.

He also did Paris Texas and the Long Riders, both great movies.
He has had an outstanding career in music.

One of my favorite albums is Ry Cooder and Ali Farka Toure, 'Talking Timbuktu', a really great work.

He has some great friends:

JPJ from Led Zep.

Here he is with Tom Jones:

Steve is playing a guitar with only 3 strings!

just for comparison, here is a blues singer, Corey Harris

Playing and singing the same, You Got to Move.

I heard Reverend Gary Davis do this song in 1960.
