Bob Nelson Collection of Folk Music: Sonny Terry & J.C. Burris

I met Sonny when he, his cousin J.C. Burris (aka Jaycee), and Pete Seeger stayed at my home for several days when they were in Seattle for a concert at the Moore Theater. This was in 1957. One day when they were rehearsing for the concert, they invited me to turn on my tape recorder and they played 6 songs for me. It was also during this visit that Pete wrote "Oh Had I A Golden Thread." Here is a link to Sonny's background http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonny_Terry
