Seeing vids like this makes you appreciate the value of YouTube for preserving such gems and making them known to the next generation rather than letting them become lost or worse yet - unheard.

I smiled the entire time. These hits wouldve been an absolute pleasure to sit in and listen to for hours while we all drank wine and and picked together.

Always consider the conditions and lack that these men had to survive and in spite of the squalor and hardship they made such brilliant contributions. My respect is reverence..
