Huddie Ledbetter, January 1888 — December 6, 1949.
My thesis film was going to be on Leadbelly recording his Last Sessions with Martha Promise and Frederick Ramsey , but it never materialized. Pete Seeger gave it his blessing before he passed on however. So much enjoyment reading this. Thanks.
Thanks so much for posting this wonderful remembrance!
The first songs I heard were from my dad’s 10” album that he played all the time. We sang Western Plain together. Huge.
Thank you!
Love that second photo.
