I'm hoping to attend the little festival at the Mississippi John Hurt Museum this coming 4th-of-July weekend. Anyone else?

Mississippi John Hurt Museum

Wasn't able to make it last year, although I had begun making plans and had done all the necessary research. The site is well off the beaten path, but I got a decent set of directions from a contributor to the forum at tweedsblues.net.

If I had never heard John Hurt, and been so totally captivated by his playing and his personality, I might well have lost interest in the guitar and never been motivated to keep trying to learn. If I live long enough. maybe I'll finally be able to make the thing sound at least a little bit as good as MJH could do. Of course, he's not a bad role model as a vocalist, either!
