happy birthday when it comes,Lonnie. wouldnt it be nice if the media made some kind of fuss about him reaching 70 and showing some acknowledgment of his enormous influence. it was Lonnie more than anyone (at least in UK )who introduced WOODY & LEADBELLY to kids like me who before that had thought music meant Dickie Valentine et al. anyone agree with me that Lonnies "Frankie & Johnny" is simply awesome & one of if not THE best version ever.
