Man he was great. Been a favorite for as long as I can remember. So many great songs.

Trip to Hyden, Levi Jones & Hold me up, I want to see the parade are some of the best. Me & Jesus is a great one too.

I think it’s time for me to break out the vinyl & a bottle. I’m officially in mourning.

Tidbit about his song “Coot Marseillas Blues”

Song was written by Tom T and Jerry Clower. (Jerry, my grandmother and great aunt went to school together)
Coot lived in East Fork, where Jerry was from, on Robert Barron’s place. Coot ate his meals in the pantry (on the back porch) of the Barron house, as he lived in a one room house behind the house. Ma Maggie making sure he was fed. (Coots table and coffeepot were still in the pantry a few years ago when I was shown it, still sitting where it was last used in the 60s)

Photo of Coot and story given to me by Robert Barron’s grandson Greg.
