More than 60 years after its recording, Blind Blake’s rambunctious “Diddie Wa Diddie”--a double-entendre ragtime-blues--still stands as a fingerpicking classic.

Each of the tune’s stanzas features a distinctively different accompaniment, and each of the three instrumental breaks is a minor masterpiece in itself.
