Old



Here is an old piece, it was covered by Kurt Cobain I believe.
Also, today I learned that the drummer in 'Apostrophe' which I posted yesterday is now in prison :(

  2. Excellent Leadbelly! Kurt sang it when Nirvana was on MTV unplugged, Shortly before his death. It's a great song.

  4. Y'know, despite having listened to Nirvana's cover hundreds of times, I've never actually looked up the original. Now I know. Brings a whole new level of respect for Cobains arrangement of it.

    Also, I wonder if the twelve string pictured was used on this recording...Seems sort of counter-intuitive when you consider the recording technology back then.

    Huge thanks for the post.
