Sister Rosetta Tharpe

Just watched this one hour documentary, she was a pretty cool guitar player and a fabulous gospel singer.  She is shown with some really nice guitars, mostly a white 3 PU SG, but some photos have other nice Gibsons.   She toured Britain with Muddy Waters and some other notables in the early 60's.

    I think that's the one been shown on BBC4 a couple of times.
    Chris Rea often name checks her as an important influence.
    Tipton is a small fishing village in the borough of Sandwell.

    What's that line?

    I'm gonna lay, my head down
    On a lonesome railroad line
    Let the 2.19
    Pacify my mind

    Great SG.
