I have a question for the Sonny Boy II experts, and you who know you are. Regarding "Mighty Long Time" (track #10 of King Buscuit Time), the liner notes of the Arhoolie disc say that Cliff Bivens, or Givens (two spellings for this name are given-which is correct?) is the sole accompanyist on bass vocals and "broom," which I take to mean a washtub bass. To me, it sounds like SB II is backed up by a a guitar, which would have been played by Joe Willie Wilkins, and a string bass playing the same tango line an octave apart. What's the story with this track?
The reason I'm asking is because I've have transcribed all three harp solos from MLT for the next issue of Sing Out! magazine and I need accurate info for the article I'm writing that will accompany with the transcription.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
