Love him. I'll take him over Robert Johnson anyday. Recently read a great story about how when he was discovered by a musicologist who was looking for great blues musicians in the south, the guy brought him to NYC (where he had a good bit of success). A non-profit group was so taken with him that they told him they'd pay for a guitar of his choice. His advisor/discoverer took him to a store and encouraged him to spring for a Martin, but John opted instead for a sunburst Guild F-30 - much less expensive - because, so he said, "I always wanted a guitar that was two colors at the same time." The guitar eventually made its way through a series of owners but today it's owned by Daryl Hall, of Hall & Oates fame.

Being from East Texas and whose ancestors came here from Mississippi in the early 1840s and which is still Southern in tradition, I can relate. It’s known derisively by some Texans in other areas of the State, mostly smug, self superior members of the media and academia as “The Pine Curtain”. Seems we are to be bound forever to carry the cross of racial relations for the rest of the nation who refuse to see their own hypocrisy. I refuse to, that’s an individual responsibility on both sides and doesn’t matter where one is from. Author William Faulkner said it best about being a native Mississippian and the South: “ It’s my Country, my native land and I love it, You don’t love because: you love despite; not for the virtues, but despite the faults.”

when I was in high school in Chicago way, way back in 1961, and just learning to play guitar, I found the old Alan Lomax folkways recording of John Hurt. I was fascinated by the sounds and learned many of his tunes. A few years later I moved to Greenwich Village in New York City to begin my life as a folk musician. I saw Mississippi John play live many times at the old Gaslight Cafe and local folk festivals of the time. He was a sweet and gentle man. I still can play his rendition of John Henry. A fine picking tune.

Such beautifully syncopated playing. There's so much melody coming from the guitar that it sounds like multiple guitars being played simultaneously. It blows my mind how great he was.
