I'm from north Carolina originally and started out playing blues and folk music when I was about 8 years old. I started doing this because I was introduced to this old man in my neighborhood who played that type of music. I would sit and listen to him play for long hours and my mom didn't want me hanging out with him because he was an elderly alcoholic. He showed me chords for the first time and how to do little licks and hammer-ons and walk-ins. I enjoyed it so much as a kid without realizing how it was going to impact my entire life. As a kid in North Carolina, making a pallet on the floor was nothing new. That's what we called it when you would lay a few blankets on the floor to sleep on. I always slept with my head in the V of my arm. I did this so much that even though I have a shit ton of pillows now, I still sleep in the V of my arm now. I'd give anything to go back to those mornings of waking up on a floor pallet, to a breakfast of fried eggs and liver mush. Those were truly my favorite days. Now I'm still the same kid in love with that music, except for I'm 30 now. I still play blues, folk, and bluegrass. P.S. while I was in middle school I used to swipe these Alan Lomax books from my school and I learned a lot of blues and folk songs from them. I kept those books forever and somehow along the years I either lost them or someone swiped them from me. I hope wherever they are that they are helping someone learn some truly magnificent songs :)

@@gingegingerton Who hurt you?

Sam Chatmon comes from a musical dynasty. His mother Eliza was a minstrel show performer, and she had several children with different men. Sam Chatmon and his brother Bo Carter (who wrote Corrinna, Corrinna) formed the Mississippi Sheiks. Sam and another brother, Lonnie formed the Bluebird act 'The Chatmon Brothers.' Their father, Henderson Chatmon was a minstrel show fiddler, and likely also the father of Charlie Patton. Though born a slave, Henderson Chatmon was almost certainly the offspring of his Dutch master, and was known to closely resemble his father/master so much that he was sometimes pulled out of the minstrel shows he played for 'being too white'. His complexion did not darken until well into adulthood. He passed these caucausian features on to his sons. Sam's mother, Liza, was also very fair-skinned, and she too believed her father to be a white man of German descent. So for anyone wondering why Sam Chatmon (or Charlie Patton) look caucausian, it's because they were likely of 50% German/Dutch and 50% African descent. Also, Sam states here that his songs pre-dated the Blues, which they did. While the roots of the Blues run deep, pre-dating even the slavery period, "The Blues Music" as popularly understood wasn't commercially marketed until the 1920s. To call Leadbelly or Sam Chatmon "blues musicians" completely negates the bulk of their output, which consisted of field hollers, gospel, folk, jug band, polkas, waltzes, classical and popular standards.

He fled rome georgia bc he killed a white man and he left his family by hopping on a train headed for Alabama. These entitled fucks don't have a clue what black people went thru back then.

I saw him perform in 1972. He played a cheap Stella acoustic, the kind you could buy for about $15 in the 1960's, but the sound he got out of it was perfect for the Delta blues he played so well. Also a good singer who could swoop into a nice falsetto when a song called for it.

And so the world became one people might travel through.

This is truly an American treasure. It belongs to us and we belong to it.

This music speaks to your heart, mountain music, the blues and all country music tell of life's stories and we can all at one time or another relate to it , that's why music is a universal language that unites people. I've listened to all genres over a period of 63 years and have a deep appreciation of them all. I've enjoyed so many live performances that I can't count them all but I was raised on country/western, R & B , and was thrilled with the British invasion. In my lifetime I've seen BB KING , LYNYRD SKYNYRD , JONNY LANG, JOHN LEE HOOKER, STEVIE RAY VAUGHN & DOUBLE TROUBLE, ETTA JAMES, BUDDY GUY, STEVE VAI, JOE SATRIANI, DR. JOHN, BIG MAMA THORNTON, THE DAVE MATTHEWS BAND, ERIC CLAPTON, PAUL ROGERS of BAD COMPANY, HOOTIE AND THE BLOWFISH, MINNIE RIPPERTON, ROBERT CRAY, GARY MOORE, THE WHISPERS, THE SPINNERS and the list goes on. Music has played a major role in my life and now at the age of 69 , I hope to see at least a few more concerts before, in my dads words, IM PUSHING UP DAISIES..LOL. To our youth I say, take a look back, listen and learn from our music pioneers, it all started in the mountains and in the cotton fields.

The swag absolutely pours outta this ol man!!! What a treasure!!!

i been listening to alot of pop music, you can just tell this guy never got a face lift, musical gaint. that old man strength

I want my voice to sound like that when I'm 81. Love this.

Kinda mind-blowing to think that this song was already old by the time Sam Chatmon learned it. When you really start to think about all the different kinds of music from the years before recordings that are just lost to history...

Chills man. Chills This is gold.

I thank you, Mr. Sam Chatman, so much. 😭

Thank God we all have these Lomax treasures. Great song.

never heard the song or heard of him before. u reckon u just gotta like a fellah like him though. thx. for sharing so i will be listening to some more Sam Chatmon i guarantee

A real musician.

2021 and I’m 24 yrs old and I just found out about this guy while learning to play guitar myself. I hope this is me one day in the future. Old and still full of soul sitting on a chair and let my fingers go 🤚 🎸

What an angel of a human and musician. Genius.

Awww man..... this is pure gold. Thanks for sharing this moment with us!!!

This video of Sam has more to say than just his song. A lot of great wisdom from a good life Shines from that Happy face of his! No doubt many a story lie underneath that hat he sports too? Much Respect Sir.
