Jody Kruskal Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I was just listening to Sugar in the Gourd and heard this song... Frank Luther & His Pards - Barbara Allen, Recorded In 1928. You can hear it here: Sounds like Anglo to me. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt Braun Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I particularly enjoyed the light hearted whistling just as Barbara Allen dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjcjones Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Sounds like a harmonica to me. Luther is known to have recorded with the harmonica player and artist Thomas Hart Benton, might it be him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
