Blake’s 78s cast him as swinging jazzman or jive hipster, while others walked the long, lonely road to the gallows. The man with the “famous piano-sounding guitar” is still regarded as the unrivaled master of ragtime blues fingerpicking. In 1927 Blind Blake recorded That’ll Never Happen No More. This became a very popular tune to play in the folk revival of the 1960s. Dave Van Ronk was well known for including this in his performances. The guitar is playing in the key of G and using first position chords. An alternating bass is used throughout the playing.
