Well-Spent Life, A

• (nd) ----- color ----- 44 min ----- 16mm
• Presents a moving tribute to the Texas songster, Mance Lipscomb, considered by many to be one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Mance was not "discovered" until 1960 when he was recorded for the first time. Before that Mance lived by sharecropping, surviving (and not much more than surviving) the brutality of a system not much better than slavery. Amazingly, instead of growing bitter, the tough times made him sweet.
• Topics: (American Ethnic Studies: Afro-American, Biography, Music)
