I didn't think Id get a response .My comment meant I liked Lonnie .He got the big production . I'm a fan of lead belly ,woody ,ramblin jack,big bill ,reeves,monroe,cash etc etc and now Lonnie can be added to the music that touches me. Thank you

@Jm01394 -- No Nashville connection at all. Donegan's major inspirations were the recordings by Leadbelly, Big Bill Broonzy, and Woody Guthrie. His first hit, "Rock Island Line," was a Leadbelly song which Donegan recorded in London, 1954.

Looks and sounds to me Lonnie must have been working at the same time with Nashville. A British guy singing and performing as well as any American artist

0:27 yeah

chris barber si ispirò a lui per creare la trad jazz band MItico

@sturdle -- Good for you!!

@lupine22 so?? my next door neighbour is 70 and dishy!! (I am 110)

Lupine, -- thanks for posting this wonderful memory.

@dorislumpkin1 that's EXACTLY what I thought before I read your comment!

.*****Thumbs up

wow at 27 see the girl with the most beautiful eyes

Yeah. Rock on Tommy.

bigvis65 is right! Check the eyebrows on that girl. Hotter than hot.

he's the head off robin williams

A fine version but my favorite will always be dylan's 1967 performance.

maybe the chick has a grandaughter

Second girl looks like stockard channing 

@johnhamilton08 You must be a real dork. LOL, just kidding.

One of my favorite songs, and keep in mind I'm 21.

@davidfoxtrot i don't think he was trying to be "intelligent" lol he just thinks she's hot

It's so awesome how the guy at the beginning pronounces "king of skiffle."

@bigvis65 Funny, I thought the same when I discovered this video two years ago. I bet she has many grand kids by now!

@davidfoxtrot I like the one in the stripes who shows up at about 1:15, but I guess she's in her 70s too. Oh, well! Too bad I wasn't there at the right time. I need my Back to the Future time travel car. LOL

Sheer genius there will never be another Artiste like him.

@davidfoxtrot I thought it was rather whimsical. Thanks for your advice I'm sure to take it!
