Comment:

This mix is a compilation of tunes by a tremendous blues guitarist from Pittsburgh, Ernie was a student of the Rev, Gary Davis and a practitioner of Piedmont, Delta and Texas Blues and Ragtime Guitar. He is probably better known for a series of instructional videos teaching the styles of Rev. Davis, Blind Willie McTell, Lightnin Hopkins and Mance Lipscomb.
For fans of Acoustic Blues Guitar the first track is a link. Title is from the Pittsburgh City Paper article by David Paluzzi which first told me Ernies story (I had been on a couple shows with him in the late 90s). Enjoy

This guy is GREAT. The only lesson I've ever taken in my life was from Ernie.

I'd like to hear this. Strange that I'm saying this, as I live in the 'burgh, but I approach these types of fellas (i.e., modern blues dudes) with extreme caution.
