OKee Dokee Steve: Huddie Ledbetter then.

1#. Did Leadbelly ever record with a six string guitar? Give details.

2#. Leadbelly's best known song was made into a 'Hit' by The Weavers...right? But that's not what the record label said. What DID it say?

3#. Leadbelly COULD have done more recording in LA. He COULD have done more radio, and club gigs. Why didn't he?

4#. When he was first "Presented" in urban concerts, he was asked to wear something humiliating. What was it? At the end of each concert, he was asked to DO something equally humiliating. What was it?

5#. Leadbelly knew a LOT of chords (most never found in a chord book!) but there was one kind of common chord he NEVER played. What?
