Thread Name: Mississippi John Hurt
Subject: RE: Mississippi John Hurt
At an FSGW program in the DC area (back in the 90's) I got a chance
to meet TOM HOSKINS and hear the wonderful story of "discovering"
MJH in the early 60's.

Has this story been chronicled on Mudcat in previous threads?
I found a snippet of this tale over here --

Part of that workshop included a handwritten biography of MJH which
I've kept in the archives.
