Happy New Year from Botswana

This was posted as Happy New Year from Ronnie in Botswana; whoever made this field recording also recorded a bunch more, which you can see by clicking through to YouTube and looking at the links. I have no idea who it is, but was given a heads up to it by Dick Spottswo

Was that a $.5.00 guitar? Chico it did sound good given the shape. The neck looked a little warped. We won’t know till Ben has a looks at it. Could be the angle of the photo. So i’ve got the underhanded finger stetching from below, but i’ve got to try this over hand deal if only for a bit, if Austin’s up to it.

Dick Spottswood? He helped find Mississippi John Hurt. Does he have a blog?

Along these lines, I saw Bela Fleck’s Africa Project last spring, which got me thinking about George Sibanda again. I got the album The Legendary George Sibanda several months ago. You might really enjoy it.

I posted this video on a Clash (they released London Calling in America 30 years ago today) message board and someone from Helsinki wrote that the guitarist is called “Ronnie.”

What evidence is there to prove or suggest that the perpetrators went there to kill as opposed to the stated intent to sell a gun with Dr Smith's prints (as stated when the meeting was set)? Think abo ..

My only dinner at Justines was about 1970. Needless to say everything was impeccable- the food , oh my; the atmosphere, incredible and then there was the coffee- superb. Why do I grade the coffee so h ..

The difficulty with this theory in my opinion is one of perps was killed and he was not killed without of authority of law. In fact, he was shot by a law enforcement officer in commission of a crime. ..

Great all the way through to last line: "I just carried water to the elephant." I'm sorry I never got to talk to your father. I really enjoyed the film. Wished it was longer. Good job, Sarah. ..

After watching that video I think it should be clear to anyone that the so called “doctor” is really an alien imposter trying to frame Dr. Smith for the murder. We all know the aliens are working with ..

Sarah did a great job on that video and the drawings you have posted previously are incredible. She's really talented. I think it must run in the family. Congratulations on the graduation. ..
