Heigh-ho, everybody, heigh-ho! Last week I played the Bloody Mary bar at Boats and Bluegrass, a fun music festival in Winona, Minnesota. After my set, a fella came up with a resonator guitar and asked about my National resonator. We traded guitars, tunes, and stories. Turns out he was up busking from New Orleans… and also was a former contestant on American Idol!

Made a little video just for fun. Here ’tis:

Cheers,
Jack

Heigh-ho, everybody, heigh-ho! I've been singing vaudeville blues music since 1925. I also host a radio show (and podcast), make movies, write books, and perform children's music under the name "Conductor Jack" - from the kids show I have with my wife Kitty called The Zinghoppers. I live in Nashville, TN and Winona, MN (where I drink lutefisk lattes and say "uff da" a lot).
