[78-L] "Mystery" Country Record

[Gregg Kimball]

The liner notes from the Old Hat release has a quote from Howard Armstrong 
about Joe Evans, "a shoeshine guy who used to play 12-string guitar."  He 
recounts him going down Vine Street in Knoxville playing 12-string behind 
his back, "playin' the heck out of it."
