As always Mark...really nice stuff. Makes me miss a guitar I had for 40 years , a 1966 Guild F-212. It was a bear to play but way worth the effort. Had to sell it in 2010 to help pay some medical bills. Thanks for featuring so much stuff on the 12 string. These videos are fun to watch and always have something new in it that I didn't know.

Good choices and nicely played! In your pre-history you night have mentioned, alongside Lead Belly and Blind Willie McTell, Tejano music pioneer and star Lydia Mendoza. Her twelve-string playing was astoundingly powerful and musical. The introduction to her first and biggest hit, Mal Hombre (released in 1934 when she was just 18), set the tone for a long career of playing and singing. A Texan of Mexican extraction, she never learned English and never really got discovered by by folk audiences who would have loved her music.
