A huge thanks, David! This is easily the coolest visual I've received via WFMU!
Oh, I've got Grey Goosebumps, now. That song in particular keeps Leadbelly close and dear as it was an anonymous earworm from outta nowhere one day and I could not rest till I found its source (which was fortunately the same day).
Very nice find ... and I didn't get a lick of work done during those three work songs. Guess it was a "hot cup of coffee [and] cold glass of tea" break!-)

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD. Petey Cger does it again. By the way, Cger means Seeger in Peteytalk.
that was the best leadbelly video i've seen in a long time. Get it? because its the ONLY leadbelly video i've seen in a long time. This is because there's only one of them.
no but seriously, that LeddyBell is the man!

...ridden with ads, and also has never worked for me.
Damn shame. I'd love to see this.
