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

EXCELLENT… really, really great stuff.
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.
Best ever version of Diddley Daddy:
cute.
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.”
She couldn’t do any of that without the support of the the man behind behind her.
