Thanks Earl.
I think Stokes is a real sleeper. I can see the influences in John Hurt's playing and (don't laugh) Chubby Checker's "Lets Twist Again Like We Did Last Summer".
You have given me a good start. Your interpretation is much better than mine. I will listen again with that in mind and see if I can get anymore.
By the way. Has anyone made transcriptions of his guitar accompaniment? I know Stefan Grossman has one for "It Won't Be Long Now", because I have a copy.
