The maestro himself.... producing magic on Lucille , his guitar !!
If you can get your hands on his concert album Live at Cook County Jail ...do yourself a favor and add it to your collection. My vinyl was unfortunately purloined by some cad {sniff}
Sweet Sixteen
A signature song of his .... relax and enjoy.
Not Cook County jail, but Sing Sing prison.... the first of many prison concerts he would play..
