Someone mentioned that his harmonica playing seemed to be influenced by Peg Leg someone, to which Rory agreed. I immediately decided to look Peg Leg up, but have now forgotten his surname. Can anyone help? Greeno

The clip above is the beginning of a longer documentary that can be found on http://www.folkstreams.net/ along with a bunch of other cool documentaries on "folk" culture and music.

Peg Leg Sam. Specifically... The tune "Greasy Greens." Wonderful stuff. EDIT: seems it can heard here. xxx Last Edited by on Nov 02, 2011 9:50 AM
