Willie '61' Blackwell

About the artist

Some believe that Willie Blackwell was born around 1898. Another source claims that he was born on December 25, 1905 in LaGrange, TN. He reportedly spent his early years in Memphis. He was originally a piano player, but sometime in the 1920's he was severely beaten, by friends of another piano player after a talent contest, that caused major damage to his left arm, since he had bested the other contestant. He later picked up and learned how to play guitar
