Thread Name: Lyr Req: Fannin Street (Leadbelly)
Subject: RE: Leadbelly's Fanin Street
The guitar intro to Fannin' Street, simply astonishes me, even to this day.
Apparently Huddie played "Windjammer" (Cajun accordion) and danced on the street for change. He hadn't come into contact with the 12 String at that time.
