Thread Name: Origins: Candy Man Blues (Mississippi John Hurt)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Candy Man Blues-by Mississippi John Hurt
Has anyone ever seen tabledit versions of MJH's songs? I sure wish someone, like Homespun, would publish finger-picking lessons in tabledit. I learned from written tab, but the pc version helps me speed up the process. I met John at a club in DC in '64 - Libba Cotton was there too to watch - I sing Paxton's song and say - yeah I shook his hand - hard like leather - and got an autograph on the lp. Have been finger-picking learner ever since. Enjoyed hearing great pickers Labor Day weekend - Paul Geremia, Mark Dvorak, and Don Stiernberg - at the Fox Valley Folk fest - great event.
