    Sister Rosetta!!!!

    A true pioneer . . .

  34. Linda Teuling says:

    She can easily go on record for her outstanding guitar playing! I wonder if
    she could have given Les Paul some competition!

  35. Rick Perry says:

    =^..^= now dig this….

  36. burrencrawler says:

    Holy crap, a chick who can actually play the guitar (go on report my
    comment and we’ll see if the numbers game justifies what i said). I mean
    holy fucking crap, she can play, i can see Angus Young wetting himself over
    this, maybe thats why he chose a SG to play. “let’s do that again!!!’
