Subject: RE: Lonnie Donegan
I believe Lonnie recorded two different versions of "Talking Guitar Blues", one sung in a sort of American accent, and another "cockney" type version. There is a reference above to a "UK version" of the song which seems to support this. Was this because back in the 1950s, US listeners would have had difficulty understanding the UK lyrics, does anyone know?
