When Tompkins Square released the first of its Charlie Louvin recordings, Smoke asked The Lomax Archive's Nathan Salsburg to visit with Charlie in Nashville. He came away with two video interviews and four original video performances of traditional murder ballads. I've been re-reading Nathan's piece and enjoying watching Charlie play and talk about his life and music. Thought I'd share the memories.

Josh Rosenthal from Tompkins Square has a moving remembrance on the Tompkins Square site.
