khandu Mississippi John Hurt (97* d) RE: Mississippi John Hurt 29 May 07


PoppaGator, there is a video of MJH playing without his hat!

Unfortunately, it is a silent video!

John Miller has an instructional DVD of MJH tunes which features a 9 minute (appr.) silent video of John filmed in his home in D.C.
MJH is seen, but not heard, playing "Candy Man", "Stagger Lee", "Salty Dog" and more; most of them done without his hat! He finally sends his grandson to fetch his hat.

Though it is silent, it is nonetheless a very wonderful video to watch, though I cannot imagine why anyone would film such a great musician without sound!

It is like viewing the Mona Lisa in black and white!.
