(re-posted) Bury me under the Weeping Willow Tree / Amythyst Kia
Sorry, there was a mistake in the URL when I posted this before.
Here's an enjoyable contemporary performance of old-style country music. I don't know who the mandolin player is. Perhaps someone here can tell us.
If the links don't work, search YouTune for "Amythyst Kiah - Bury me under the Weeping Willow Tree". (For some reason the video isn't appearing on my screen. If you're not getting it either, click on the URL, and it should take you to the video.)

Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."
