rangeroger Mississippi John Hurt (97* d) RE: Mississippi John Hurt 30 Jan 04


Last fall at Strawberry Music Festival we had "Avalon Blues",a trio composed of Dave Alvin,Peter Case, and Chris Smithers, doing nothing but MJH songs. What an amazing set this was.

My introduction to MJH was the the Tom Paxton song. Since then I picked up the Vanguard "Blues at Newport 1963" and "Great Bluesmen at Newport" on vinyl.

I just wish that I had been able to listen to the man live. I have to agree with Drew (above), if you have the chance, don't let it pass.

I had that chance with Rosalie Sorrels back stage at Strawberry, and will always cherish the time spent over 2 days talking with her.
