What you don’t know about K.C. Moan (Memphis Jug Band)

K.C. Moan is one the great calling cards for classic blues and jug band music. Memphis Jug Band's version surely helped lay the bedrock for rock & roll, but the roots K.C. Moan are much older and more obscure than most give it credit.
Using clips from a recent livestream we'll touch on the original (as far as I can tell) recording of the K.C. canon, who wrote it, and how to play it!
Check out all three versions in my playlist, The K.C. Trilogy:
