In the Peter, Paul and Mary concert video I posted yesterday, it had a section where Paul Stookey talked affectionately and amusingly about the legendary blues musician and songwriter Jesse Fuller, who was famous too for being an very offbeat one-man band. The group then went into a joyous version of Fuller's great song, "San Francisco Bay Blues."
Stookey's introduction was so entertaining -- and I love the song so much -- I decided to see if I could track done any footage of Jessie Fuller. And happily, I did. And further, all the better, to show that Stookey was not exaggerating, here is a 1968 video of Jesse Fuller with his one-man band performing his most-famous song.
