Fahey was the man! Andy Kershaw told a lovely story about Fahey being invited to do a session for BBC R3. The man turns up very late for the gig then takes out a guitar with no strings. Someone is despatched to buy a set of strings, comes back and Fahey spends twenty minutes restringing and seemingly tuning then puts the instrument back in the case and makes to leave! Kershaw ,a bit non-plussed asks "What about the gig John? Fahey replies "What do you think the the last twenty minutes were?" Great bloke!
