Separate link to the phone interview - here. Bill Bartlett played guitar on Green Tambourine for the Lemon Pipers and was a really good guitar player. He's probably living off that song because I'm guessing he never made any money off of Black Betty.It's an interesting song because its roots go back well into the 1800's. The first verse was likely written about a musket. Leadbelly recorded the song in the 1930's.Bartlett spills what the last 2 verses (that he wrote) are about. Good to see he's alive and well.
