Yes, I too love this man and the whole Skiffle thing. Miles better than punk. Didn't Lennon play banjo chords on his guitar in the early days of the Beatles? You can't get more skiffle than that.
PS. The song that I have on an old shelac single, and its B-side I believe, is Tom Dooley. Fabulous song!
I agree entirely. There would be no Beatles or Stones without skiffle and civilization as we know it would be vastly different.Instead of the fabulius rock and roll programmes on telly now we would be stuck with dancing on ice, amateur singing shows and choirs etc. Oh.
I had the privilege of seeing him live - what a showman! A vastly underrated guitar player and influence on popular culture. A pity he's best remembered for rubbish like "My old man's a dustman"
Rubbish? But surely that is wot bein' a dustbinman is all abhat?
Maybe but it's not what a musical trailblazer is all about
