Thoughts on Mississippi John Hurt’s Nobody’s Dirty Business

[@rhomacity]

Thank you for this clear and succinct demonstration of my favourite county blues player.

[@tristambarrett48]

Thanks so much for sharing your insights. Lovely!

[@philochsmemory]

In the live recording he goes to an A note on the melody. "Dirty" business

[@bigbearsandbenjamins]

Wow.. great thoughts on thinking outside the boxes... thanks for the Keane observation.

[@andersfernbach2399]

Thanks for sharing! This is my favorite John Hurt tune, esp the Live! recording

[@clayrdean]

This is amazing Peter. I've been working on this song and this helps a lot. You play so cleanly, it's inspiring. Thank you!

[@rbinkoriffic9999]

Love it ! BTW, Is that a Godin 5th Ave guitar ? Im thinking of buying one, its sounds great !

[@PeterKeaneMusic]

Thanks! That’s a mid 50s Gibson ES-135.

I SLOW HIS SONGS TO 0.25 SPEED TOO!! I HOPE THERE IS MORE OF US.!!😅

Interesting details. Sounding good. 👍

1928 ... wow, the revised edition certainly has more bounce and melody, fluid and smooth, nice

[@belascialoja4812]

That guitar is KILLER. An ES-150? I have a 125, so I know it's higher up than that, and I don't recall seeing a 175 without a cutaway. Tuning keys look new.

[@PeterKeaneMusic]

good eye - it's a 1956 ES-135 (fancier 125 - fretboard binding) - the tuners are new replacements.

[@colinli7906]

helps a lot, thank you sir!

[@bigbearsandbenjamins]

Speaking to the songs feeling... When I listen to the original John Hurt recording I get a feeling of almost a calypso polyrhythmic syncopation thing going on. Very interesting.

[@PeterKeaneMusic]

Yes! I think you are exactly right on that

[@philochsmemory]

Interesting nice catch I think his beat is less bouncy feel than how you are playing. (I am learning now).
