And today's pick is: The Legend Of Charlie Poole, Volume 3, Original Recordings 1926-1930.

Listening to the CD, I realize that I've done a lot of Charlie Poole stuff over the years... learned from a treasured reel to reel tape from Ed Denson back in the early 60's. Some of them are on this CD (I have the other volumes, too:)

Leaving Dear Old Ireland, Hungry Hash House, Goodbye Booze and Once I Loved A Sailor. My banjo style is very much influenced by Charlie's picking... ideosyncratic and very rhythmic.

I never tire of listening to his music.

What a good pick!
