Thanks for the link, SC. I never heard of Dennis Taylor but I truly enjoyed his tunes. You can hear the Fahey influence but Taylor's melodic ideas seem to be more clearly realized than Fahey's, the ones from his later period anyway. I learned and still play some of John's early stuff like Last Steam Engine Train, Take a Look at that Baby, Give Me Cornbread When I'm Hungry, I'm Gonna Do All I Can for My Lord, Sunflower River Blues and Poor Boy. A lot of his later, longer tunes didn't really interest me and Taylor's tune "Going Nowhere Fast" reminded me of that.
