 Footage shot in 1976 of a performance by the legendary blues musician Furry Lewis, who was 83 years old at the time. Originally shot on a Sony 1/2" Porta Pak, the footage was transferred to Mini DV and edited to maintain the integrity of that solo performance. Included is a ten minute interview conducted with Furry Lewis during intermission.
