Founder of the Delta Blues, Charley Patton, could play his Guitar behind his head and behind is back; he was tutored by the almost mystical Henry Sloan and influenced all the others that came after him. Thank you for your contribution Mr. Patton you are appreciated; please take a listen here and have an enjoyable Monday: Pea Vine Blues , Down the dirt road blues , Screamin' and hollerin' the Blues , Mind reader blues (with his Wife Bertha Lee) and Pony Blues
