My Gawd, this is fantastic! Thank you SO MUCH. Ella Speed is close to my all time favourite song, and the recording by Huddie ledbetter with Paul Mason Howard on Dolceola (not Zither as the liner notes say) is simply Leadbelly at his very best. I first heard that recording when I was 14 and 40 years later it still sends chills up my spine. "Bull" Martin eh? That'll take some getting used to....better start now.

Bravo John Garst, and Bravo once again Bruce Olson.
