Mance Lipscomb (1895 - 1976), the son of a former slave, lived almost his whole life in Navasota, Texas, supporting himself and his family by tenant farming. But he was also a guitar player and songster who played blues and rags for his neighbors at local Saturday night parties. In 1960 Mance was "discovered" by Chris Strachwitz of Arhoolie Records and Mack McCormick. Within a short period of time Mance was recording albums and performing at festivals, concert halls and clubs around the country. This presents a rare television concert recorded in Texas for KLRU TV in 1969. It shows the panorama and genius of Mance's music.
