I do remember John playing around Chicago in the early '70s. But I don't really recall this song---or any others actually.

I always did wonder about the Stella guitar Leadbelly was said to have played. All of the Stella guitars I saw were extremely cheap plywood instruments. My first guitar was a Stella. I bought it for ten dollars from Joel Kanter at the Sammy house---University of Illinois at Champaign-----1959. I got rid of it as soon as I put the cash together to buy a Harmony Sovereign.
