    What’s brilliant about Rhiannon Giddens is that you can go on RUclips and you can search and find her singing a lovely French song with guitar in French and then find her singing Celtic mouth music and then find her singing playing an instrument, writing a musical…. We have a genius talent here❤

Can you do a lesson of Taj Mahal playing Cakewalk Into Town? That's another great song. Thanks for making these lessons available. Cheers
