CRIME & PUNISHMENT


Leadbelly1_sm
Huddie Ledbetter AKA Leadbelly in Prison

I am particularly indebted to Dave Weiner for this episode.  He is the first person to hand me the Leadbelly album "Take This Hammer" which I used in the background as I talked between sets.  Truly a life-changing record for me.
