Darnell Dawkins: Mouth Guitar Legend 12 years old

He only spoke with his mouth.

This mockumentary traces the remarkable story of mouth-guitar legend Darnell Dawkins, a childhood friend of Jimi Hendrix who filled in for the legendary guitarist at Woodstock after Hendrix missed his flight. Though Dawkins' disapproving father fought hard to suppress any footage of his son's performances, this film reveals the true genius of the musician whose greatest instrument was his own body.
